Watseka, Ill.

By R. F. Andrews

We took down our tent at Watseka on Monday, Aug. 23, after a stay of seven weeks and four days. The opposition was determined and bitter, but the truth has gained a decided victory. To the Lord belongs all the praise. Thirty-two have taken their stand upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and we have strong hopes for quite a number of others. We obtained eleven subscribers for the REVIEW, and two for the Instructor, and sold about seventy dollars’ worth of books.

As there are several places where they need help, and as the interest here must be followed up, we decided it would be better to take down the tent and establish those already interested, and visit some places where there are persons anxiously waiting for baptism, than to undertake to awaken a new interest to the neglect of the work already commenced.

We expect to spend Sabbath and first-day, the 28th and 29th, at Beaverville; Sept. 4 and 5, at Watseka, and then to look after matters in the churches in other places where such work is needed.
