Northern Iowa Tent.

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

Since our last report we have held meetings nearly four weeks in Horton, Bremer Co., Iowa. The attendance and interest were very good for the most of the time during our meetings. Soon after we pitched our tent in Horton, a large camp-meeting commenced a few miles distant, which drew the attention of some from our meetings. Also, a few cold and frosty evenings, doubtless, prevented some from being present. Quite a large number expressed themselves by rising vote as satisfied with the evidence from Scripture in favor of the Seventh-day Sabbath. May the Lord help them to obey and keep this, with all the rest of God’s commandments. One family decided to keep the Sabbath, henceforth. Several good and responsible citizens are interested, have bought books, and are investigating. May the Spirit of God help them not only to decide in favor of the truth, but to make a practical use of it, and be “doers of the word.”

We sold about $12 worth of books, and obtained nine new subscribers for the REVIEW. Tent labor is now closed, and the tent is stored away in Bro. Seely’s barn, of Fayette.
