SMITHLAND, IOWA.

By E. W. Farnsworth

OUR meetings closed Sunday evening, Nov. 19. The interest was good to the close. Twenty-three gave their names to keep the commandments of God and faith of Jesus, as a result of these meetings. There are about eighty adult Sabbath-keepers in Smithland and vicinity now. We reorganized the Sabbath-school throughout. There will be about eighty scholars. We see no reason why this may not become a strong church. I trust the older members will realize the increased responsibility resting upon them on account of this addition to their numbers. We believe the Spirit of the Lord has been with us, and feel thankful indeed for this token of his willingness to bless our feeble efforts in his cause.
I now return to Dakota to labor during the winter. I earnestly desire the prayers of God's people to go with me. My address will be, E. W. FARNSWORTH.
