HOWARD CO., IND.

By W. W. Sharp; Wm. Covert

The Conference gave us the old 60 ft. tent, which we cut down to 45 ft., repaired and pitched in a pleasant grove near the village of West Liberty, a small place, containing about a dozen families. We commenced meetings June 2, with a congregation of one hundred and twenty-five, which has increased to an average of one hundred and fifty. The people have been very kind, boarding us, and doing us many favors from the first.

We have held fifty-three meetings. Nine have signed the covenant, and five others promised by vote to keep the Sabbath. Many are convinced, for some of whom we have reason to hope. A sermon was preached against the Sabbath last Sunday, which was reviewed before about four hundred people with good effect.

We shall remain here a week, and then go to Green Town, about seven miles from this place. We intend to hold meetings here each Sabbath for several weeks. Pray for us. W. W. SHARP, Wm. COVERT. West Liberty, Ind., July 18, 1876.
