Iowa.

SINCE my last report, I have visited the Hook’s Point, Nevada, Iowa Center, Victor, Washington, and Pilot Grove churches. Returned to Story Co., and found the believers there all holding on. Two more had been added to their numbers, and they had had good meetings in our absence.
Last Monday evening, I reviewed Eld. Layton (Methodist) after hearing him endeavor to prove that Christians are now keeping the true, original Sabbath from creation. His positions were, 1. That man’s first day was God’s seventh; 2. That the heathen nations, from antiquity, have kept the first day of the week, thus handing it down to us; and, 3. That the Jews (God’s people) did not keep the true Sabbath in their generations.
The first of these we tried to show was a palpable absurdity; the second we partially admitted, and the third we endeavored to prove was an absolute falsehood.
I am now with Bro. Barlow at Fonda, Pocahontas Co., holding meetings. Commenced last night.
