PERU.—“The interest to hear,” says Eld. R. M. Kilgore, who labored about four weeks in this place, “was good all the time. Once we had to close the door against those without, for there was no room within. Eight new ones were led to take their stand on the side of the truth, and two others who had formerly obeyed the truth returned again to the fold with renewed zeal and courage, having, as one of them remarked, ‘learned a good lesson.’ The former elder of the church having resigned, Bro. John M. Brown was elected to fill the vacancy.
KNOXVILLE.—Eld. Geo. I. Butler has been laboring in this place several weeks, lecturing evenings to outsiders, and holding meetings in the day time for the benefit of the church. Bro. Minos Miller was elected and ordained elder. Bro. Geo. Howell was chosen clerk.
STATE CENTER.—This church is, perhaps, the strongest in the Iowa Conference both in numbers and financial strength. The brethren here have built a new meeting-house and have furnished it creditably. Eld. Butler who attended the dedication says “the house was packed full of citizens, and the whole affair passed off pleasantly. The house is a credit to the village and to our people.”
