UNDER THE CANVAS.

N. Y. and Pa. Tent No. 1, Wellsville, N. Y.

WE have pitched our tent in a pleasant site on Main St. in this village, ready to commence meetings Saturday evening, July 28. Our address will be Wellsville, Allegany Co., N. Y., instead of Bolivar as stated in our report this week. R. L. WHITNEY. M. H. BROWN.

Oskaloosa, Iowa.

WE have now been here five weeks. Thus far, we have had a good hearing, our audiences averaging from one hundred to five hundred. The principal argument used against us by the ministers of the place is the “stay-at-home argument.” We have given about sixty discourses, and, as a result, eight persons have decided to obey the truth, while a score of good souls are in the valley of decision with a fair prospect that they will decide on the side of truth. We have not pressed a decision on the people as yet.

We have sold but few books and tracts. Bro. J. H. Morrison has been laboring with us for one week, and we have held meetings for the past ten days at Beacon, on the Central railroad, two and a half miles distant, with a good interest.

Prejudice is strong here, and it will take much labor to remove it. May the Lord qualify us for his sacred work. E. W. FARNSWORTH. L. McCOY.

Cherokee Co., Kansas.

WE have pitched the Southern Kansas tent in Morton, Cherokee county, four miles east of Oswego and ten miles west of Columbus. We have spoken twice to large and attentive audiences. Our address, until further notice, will be Morton, Cherokee County, Kansas. J. H. COOK. L. D. SANTEE.
