Northern Iowa Tent.

By J. H. Morrison; C. A. Washburn

We have closed our meetings in Fredericksburg, and the tent is now pitched in Bradford, a small town sixteen miles west of F. and two miles north-east of Nashua. We left a little company of seventeen in Fredericksburg and vicinity, who covenanted together to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. A leader was appointed, and arrangements made for Sabbath meetings. Seven of this number were Sabbath-keepers before we went to the place, but they were so scattered they had no meetings. We pray that the good blessings of God may rest upon this little band, and if they walk in the light as it shines upon them, God will bless them. There are still others who are deeply convicted of duty, some of whom have already expressed a determination to keep the Sabbath. Last Sabbath and Sunday, we were made glad by the presence of our friends from abroad, who added much to the interest of the meetings.

Our brethren from Waukon and West Union took hold and helped us move to this place. We commence meetings here to-morrow evening. We are strangers in this place. We request an interest in the prayers of God's people, that God may give us the victory over the powers of darkness, and that some souls may be led to see and embrace the whole truth. We sold, while in Fredericksburg, about nineteen dollars’ worth of books; obtained six subscribers for REVIEW and one for Reformer.

Our address will be, until further notice, Bradford, Chickasaw Co., Iowa.
