FARM HILL, MINN.

By L. H. Ells; W. B. Hill; S. Fulton

July 9, we commenced labor in the tent two miles north of Farm Hill, in the edge of Wabashaw Co., in the midst of a thickly settled, thriving, farming community. The religious denominations are Episcopal and Wesleyan Methodists, and Baptists. Our meetings, thus far, have been well attended, the congregations ranging from one hundred to three hundred and fifty. The people have listened with marked attention to the words spoken, and God has given us great freedom in presenting his truth, for which we praise his holy name.

We have now come up to the time of harvest, and it has been thought best to postpone the evening meetings for three weeks, and to renew them again Aug. 20. The postmaster of the place has taken his stand to keep all the commandments. May God bless him, and may others soon join him, is our prayer. Notice has been given that opposition sermons will be preached. We request the prayers of God's people, that we may have wisdom to move just right, and that the greatest good may be accomplished. We deem this an important point, and the enemy will doubtless do all he can to hinder the work.
