IOWA

By Geo. B. Starr

I closed meetings at Elm Grove school-house, Oct. 24, after delivering twenty-three lectures. This was my first work alone. There was a good interest throughout, and I enjoyed much of the blessing and help of God. I feel that some good was done. Although no new ones are keeping the Sabbath, all seemed convinced, and quite a good vote was taken in favor of the Sabbath.

This can hardly be called a separate work from that at Greenwood under Bro. McCoy, as it is so near that most of my audience was made up of those who had attended there. The four who took their stand with us there testify to having been strengthened and more firmly established by attending at Elm Grove.

Union school-house, five miles south-east of Oskaloosa, was in waiting for me, as some friends who were anxious to hear had secured it. I commenced work here Oct. 25, with good attendance, and the interest has steadily increased. Sunday night the house was more than filled; extra seats were carried in, and then some remained standing during the entire service. The Lord is giving me good liberty in presenting these blessed truths. Pray for this work. Geo. B. Starr.
