Quincy, Mich.

By J. D. Van Horn

A LITTLE more than two weeks have passed since we pitched our tent in this place. From the first we have had good congregations, and a constantly increasing interest, though it is in the time of harvest. We do not often have less than two hundred hearers. Last evening (Sunday, the 27th), there were as many as five hundred out to hear on the change of the Sabbath. At the close of this meeting, a vote was taken, when twenty-five or thirty expressed themselves convinced that the seventh day of the week is the Bible Sabbath; but there were none to witness in favor of Sunday. Books go off quite freely, showing that the people have an interest to become informed on the different points of the present truth. The interest is becoming quite general, and what is heard at the tent is the principal topic of conversation. We have had no open opposition yet, still the ministers keep aloof from us.

We hope for some good result of the meeting here. We ask to be remembered in the prayers of those who love the cause of present truth. J. D. VAN HORN.
