Central Iowa Tent.

By R. M. Kilgore; L. McCoy

We have been laboring here with the tent for the past six weeks, and have given sixty discourses. Notwithstanding the excessive rains and muddy roads for the first three weeks, and the busy harvest season for the past three weeks, we have had a good attendance, and a deep interest has been manifested.
Our congregations have averaged about one hundred and fifty, frequently numbering three hundred. At our last meeting there were three hundred and fifty present. We have had but little public opposition, but ministers have visited their members, forbidding their attendance at our meetings.
Twenty persons, mostly heads of families, and some of them persons who have never made a profession of religion before, have covenanted together to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and we hope for quite a number more. Have obtained twenty-three subscribers for the Voice of Truth, and six for the Instructor. Shall remain here one week, and then remove to Nevada, Story County.
We have felt our weakness and inability to proclaim these mighty truths, yet God has been pleased to bless the word spoken, and the truth has gained a precious victory. To the Lord be all the praise. Brethren, pray for us, that we may be guided by the Lord, and that the work may prosper in our hands.
Our address now is Nevada, Iowa.
