ILLINOIS

By C. H. Bliss

Mt. Vernon, Oct. 29.
We took down our tent last Tuesday, the 23d inst., after having continued meetings nearly seven weeks. The interest remained good to the last. Bro. I. G. Colcord and son have returned home. They have helped much, and I miss them.
We have hired the Christian church of this place in which to continue meetings in the future. Over thirty have thus far publicly said that they designed keeping the “commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” The congregation was large last night: as many were out as could be seated in the house. Four made a start the last two evenings; and there are many others for whom we hope and pray. We hope to build up a good strong church here.
Brethren, pray for the cause in this place.
