Vernon Co., Mo.

By T. J. Butler; J. H. Cook

WE have just commenced labors at Montevallo; held one meeting, which was very liberally attended. The tent was five weeks at Clintonville; one week, were discussing the Kingdom and Sabbath questions. We were compelled to discuss, or leave the place with the impression more or less extant that we were afraid of public investigation. But from the testimonies we hear from the opposite party, they think themselves worsted in the contest. The interest at Clintonville kept up till the close of the meeting. Many were entirely convinced; but I believe only ten took a decided stand to keep all of God’s commandments. Some of them were persons who had never made any profession before. But we confidently expect to have a church there of from fifteen to twenty-five members. Four willing souls were baptized by Bro. Butler at our last meeting.
