KNOXVILLE, IOWA.

By George I. Butler

Our brethren have recently put up a new church building, a neat house, 28x46. Commenced meetings here last Sabbath evening. Sabbath and Sunday there was a good attendance of the friends of the cause in this section. The Lord gave freedom in preaching his word. Sunday, at 2 P. M., the dedication services were held. The house was densely packed by the citizens of the place, and many went away who could not get in. It was said that one hundred and fifty stood up after the seats were filled. It was a pleasant occasion, and all went away pleased. Lectures commence to-night. The church need help greatly. We hope for a good work in the community, and among our own people. There are many young people, children of Sabbath-keepers, whom we hope to see converted. Bro. Nicola is with me. We ask for the prayers of our people.
