Tent No. 2.

This tent is pitched in the village of Greenwood, Clark Co., about six miles from the Loyal church. We have had one meeting. About one hundred were out. There is much prejudice against us, but we hope for good results.

Tent No. 3, Rolling Prairie.

We commenced meetings here June 28. Our congregations through the week are small, from fifty to seventy-five; Sundays, fully two hundred are out. We have the law and Sabbath fairly before the people. They manifest an interest to hear, and give good attention. We are in a community of intelligent, well-to-do farmers, many of whom, unfortunately, are infidels.

We seem to have the confidence of the people and are not without hope that “God

will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil.”

Our address, till further notice, will be Rolling Prairie, Dodge Co., Wis.

Tent No. 4.

The interest at Fall River continues good, though the severe storms of late have kept some away, and the busy season detains still more. The storms have been destructive of property, but we are thankful to have escaped all damage thus far.

Our average attendance is about one hundred and twenty-five; and the truthfulness of our positions is generally acknowledged. Last Sunday evening we introduced the Sabbath question to over two hundred attentive hearers. The subject is almost entirely new here.

Last night we were glad to have with us Bro. Atkinson, who addressed a large congregation on his favorite theme, the Second Advent.

Sabbath P. M., July 21, we shall hold a meeting in the tent; and we earnestly request all Sabbath-keepers who can do so, to meet with us at that time and remain over Sunday.

Ellsworth.

We commenced meetings here, July 6, and have given six discourses. The congregations are good and attentive. Last evening, about three hundred were out to hear upon the signs of the times.

Ellsworth is the county seat of Pierce County, and contains several hundred inhabitants. We feel deeply the responsibility that rests upon us.
