Calhoun, March 11.

I gave a course of lectures at Belvidere, Monona Co. The Lord blessed. Eight commenced to keep the Sabbath. There is a little company of twelve Sabbath-keepers there now.

I am now at Calhoun, in Harrison Co. I have spoken four times. The interest is good, and the congregation large.

My post-office address is Missouri Valley, Harrison Co.

Alden and Webster City, March 13.

Feb. 16 and 17 I spent with the brethren near Alden. One more joined us at this place.

I then commenced meetings in a school-house six miles south-east of Webster City. The interest was good. By request I gave way to Eld. Bell, of the Christian denomination, that he might show the people who abolished the Sabbath. On the following evening I reviewed him before a crowded house. At the close of my discourse I gave opportunity for any to ask questions, when several were asked by the elders present, which I answered to the satisfaction of the people. Some are convinced that we have the truth. As the roads are bad and this is a busy time of year, we closed for the present, with an urgent invitation to return.
