BEAMAN, IOWA.

By M. M. Kenny; O. M. Olds

We came to this place Dec. 19. The interest in our meetings is increasing. The best element in society here is decidedly in our favor. Before we came here, we commenced meetings in a school-house one and a half miles from this place, but through the influence of the M. E. minister the school-house was locked against us. This raised the indignation of the district, and they declared that the M. E. minister should not have the house. The result was that we were requested to come here and use the hall, the people offering to help bear the expenses. Our congregation is composed of all classes. Quite a number of Catholics attend regularly. The principal of the school is very much interested. He was raised a German Catholic. He says he did not know before that the pope claimed as much as he does. The truth is beginning to work on the hearts of the people. One old Protestant Methodist minister has been a constant attendant, and is also interested. Last Sunday he advised his congregation to attend our meetings, and hear for themselves.
