HAMPTON, IOWA.

By G. V. Kilgore

My heart was made glad last Sabbath to hear such testimonies as were borne at our meeting. I believe that the Lord is indeed in this work. Our Sabbath meetings, so far, have been out in the country; for all the Sabbath-keepers, until a few days ago, lived close together two or three miles out. But we shall probably meet in town next time.

I have given twenty discourses since these meetings began, and although a Methodist protracted meeting, other prayer-meetings, singing-schools, and other gatherings, have been held, we have had good hearers,—men and women that give good attention to what is said, four of whom I know have decided to obey the Sabbath. One good Baptist brother, the tailor in Hampton, told me last night that his shop would be closed next Sabbath. Tears stood in his eyes while he spoke. He said he never had so hard a test come to his mind in his life before. I pray that God may bless such men. Pray for them.
