From the Iowa Tent.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

THE tent was in Adel four weeks. We found this an exceedingly dull place. We had a good hearing for that place; but yet not much real interest. The last Sunday we were there, P. T. Russel, Disciple, came and preached two discourses against us. We reviewed both. He immediately left without deigning to come near us.

We sold about $25 worth of books, obtained several subscribers for the REVIEW, and fifteen embraced the truth. I remained a week after the tent left. Had a good prayer-meeting; also a good meeting on the Sabbath. Sunday morning, Bro. Tawney brought us 21 miles south to Winterset, where Brn. Butler and Kilgore had pitched the tent. It is the county seat, and contains about 2000 inhabitants. It seems to be a live place. Bro. Butler has gotten up a lively interest, his congregation rising from 200 to 400. Sunday evening there were 500 out. Books go off well. So far we feel much encouraged. Pray for us. D. M. CANRIGHT.
