IOWA

By J. H. Morrison

Since our General Conference, I have held a few meetings with the Sandyville and Coloma churches. I have been at Osceola for the last three weeks. Have had some very interesting meetings at this place. Sabbath and Sunday last were profitable days for this church. Three were identified with us, two of whom were baptized. Systematic Benevolence was re-organized, and raised from $115.00 to $213.00; and some of the brethren not present are willing to help some, which will raise it to $240 or $250.

J. M. Peebles and a trance speaker, a boy of eighteen, were holding a series of lectures on spiritualism when we commenced. They add their voice to the popular cry of peace and safety, and a good time coming. This subject we advertised and examined from a Bible standpoint before a large crowd.
