Napoleon, Mich.

By I. D. Van Horn

We have our tent pitched on the public square, in this beautiful little village, and have been carrying on the work for ten days.

We have held fourteen meetings, with an average attendance of two hundred. Last evening, full three hundred and fifty were present.

We have brought the people down by the lines of prophecy to the present day, have introduced them to the three messages of Rev. 14, and in the last two discourses we have presented for their consideration the Sabbath in the New Testament, and the claims of first-day observance.

The interest to hear is as good, for the short time we have been here, as in any place I ever pitched the tent. Our meetings, and what is heard at the tent, is the chief topic of conversation. Books go off quite freely. Our work is calling the attention of some noble minds. The truth is certainly taking hold of some good people. What is best of all, the Lord grants his rich blessing, and we have good freedom in speaking.

Bro. Charles Russell is now with us, and we hope to accomplish much good in the name of the Lord. We hope to be remembered at a throne of grace by all who love the cause. Our address is Napoleon, Jackson Co., Mich.

In hope of life,

I. D. Van Horn.
