Southern Iowa Tent.

By R. M. Kilgore

We closed tent labor at Kellogg on the 13th because there was not sufficient interest to warrant us to stay longer. We spent three weeks laboring as best we could, giving twenty-nine discourses. Bro. Olds of Nebraska preached three times. While some are willing to concede the truthfulness of our positions, none are ready to obey; but we trust the seed which was sown may be like bread cast upon the waters.

But two families were keeping the Sabbath here. Their lives, we are glad to say, have been exemplary. They bore the burdens of these meetings cheerfully, for which they will not lose their reward, if they prove faithful unto the end. We shall not forget these dear friends in our prayers; nor Bro. and Sister Baker for their hospitality which we shared.

The tent is now pitched at Marengo, Iowa Co., and meetings begin to-night. This is a city of about two thousand inhabitants. The people are courteous, and we hope for good results. Our trust is in God, and we most sincerely ask the prayers of God's people.

This will now be our address, Marengo, Iowa Co., Iowa.
