ILLINOIS

By C. H. Bliss

We have now, July 17, been in Mackinaw a little over four weeks, and have held about forty meetings. We have seldom had fewer than one hundred hearers. A storm blew down our tent and broke the center pole. It blew down trees, and tore down houses, barns, and other buildings. But we have not lost one meeting on this account.
Last Sunday, Eld. Minier (Disciple) spoke twice on the Sabbath question. His friends claim that he is the most talented man in the county; but he made a very weak effort, even permitting his friends to judge. I reviewed him before a good congregation.
Some are beginning to oppose very strongly; others are gladly receiving the truth. A few kept last Sabbath for the first. We hope for others. C. H. Bliss.
