Western Iowa.

By J. W. McWilliams

AFTER the lectures at Battle Creek, I returned to my field of labor near Council Bluffs, Iowa. Have labored in that vicinity nearly all winter. Fifteen or twenty have decided to keep all of God's commandments. We have had a very cold and stormy winter in the West; and it has been difficult to hold meetings in a prairie country and keep up the interest, as the weather sometimes stops our meetings for nearly a week at a time.

I was glad to find the friends at Missouri Valley still holding on to the truth. Their leader is an excellent man, and is setting a good example on the reforms, while others are being aroused. The cause is onward. May the truth of God gloriously triumph.
