Note from the Iowa Tent.
By R. M. Kilgore
We have been here over a week. The interest is increasing. Our congregations have been from four to seven hundred. Over that number were out last (Sunday) evening. Twenty-five teams were in from the country. The nature of man has been the subject for the past few days. This has awakened a new channel of thought in this community. The old dusty Bibles are taken from off the shelves, and search is made to see if these things are so. We are told that such a general reading of the Bible was never known here before. It is the general topic of conversation in the streets and in the market places. Books go off freely. Several have subscribed for the REVIEW. The people are kind, and are hearing candidly. We feel encouraged to labor on in this good cause. The Lord grant that some permanent good may be accomplished. Bro. Canright is here while Bro. Butler is at home for a few days.
