Iowa and Neb. Tent.

By J. Bartlett; Chas. L. Boyd

After remaining at Tekamah, Neb., about one week, and failing to get a respectable hearing, we moved the tent to Onawa, Monona Co., Iowa, and commenced meetings August 27. Here we continued till September 28. During the latter part of our stay here, the weather was so cool that we could have meetings in the tent only a part of the time. We therefore tried to obtain the use of the school-house, which is used for other meetings, band practicing, dancing, &c., to finish our course of lectures; but were refused, being assured that it was not on account of the doctrine which we were presenting. The only reason assigned was, that some one might spit tobacco juice on the floor!
As the result of our labors here, eight have “covenanted together to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Others are convinced of the truth, who, we expect, will keep the Sabbath. Obtained eight new subscribers for the Review, two for the Reformer, and one for the Instructor.
