WE pitched our tent in this place, and have been holding meetings a little more than a week. The Lord has favored us with the very best of weather; and there seems to be little prejudice, for the people turn out en masse. They listen with profound interest to the prophecies. Yesterday, Sister Ida Ballenger gave a temperance address, at 3 P. M., to a tent full of attentive listeners. After the lecture, one old gentleman said to us, “I have heard a good many men lecture on temperance, but that beats them all.” In the evening we preached on the subject of the sanctuary, to a tent crowded full of interested listeners. The people are intelligent. We have canvassed the town and obtained sixteen monthly subscribers to the SIGNS. Hope to get some permanent subscribers. This week we shall canvass the Law and Sabbath in the Third Angel’s Message. Pray for us that the Lord will give success to his truth in this place. Aug. 6, 1883.
