Minnesota Tent.

By H. F. Phelps

THERE are, at Hamilton, the place of our last meeting, some nine keeping the Sabbath; there are about twenty more who are deeply interested. Aug. 11, we took down the tent. Have taken a rest of one week, spending one Sabbath at home with the Pine Island church. It was a good meeting. This little church is now in the best condition it has been in for a long time. This morning we start back to pitch the tent in Spring Valley, a village of about fifteen hundred inhabitants, about six miles from Hamilton. Intend to hold one series of meetings there, and then follow up the interest by holding meetings in the school-houses. We think we are in a good field. Seldom do we find such friendly people and so little prejudice. We are encouraged to labor on in this good cause. We need your prayers. We will try to seek humility and devotion to God, that he may bless.
