Tent-Meeting at Carson City, Mich.

By A. O. Burrill; E. Van Deusen

SINCE we pitched here, we have held fifty meetings. We have quite thoroughly canvassed the Sabbath and law questions. Many are convinced that we are right, and about twenty have decided to obey. We met with some opposition. One Eld. J. M. Smith, Congregationalist, came and challenged us, and even dared us to meet him in debate, and after due consideration we decided it was duty to accept, which we did before a large congregation; but when we accepted, he had so many other duties that he could not attend to this.

We have many warm friends, some of whom are members of his church.

Sold about fifteen dollars’ worth of our publications, obtained six subscribers for the REVIEW, and five for the Instructor.

There were ten or more brethren and sisters in this vicinity, who, with what have come out, make a very interesting Sabbath-school.

We took down the tent Oct. 5, and now are at work in school-houses around, where we are meeting with some success.
