ILLINOIS

By G. W. Colcord; C. H. Bliss

Woodburn.

OUR recent visit to Woodburn was very encouraging. The friends of the cause here, though few, appear to be determined to endure to the end.

Our first duty was to attend a temperance lecture at our house of worship. A goodly number attended, and it was evident that good was accomplished. There is quite an interest among those without to understand our faith more fully. Sunday eve we had a good audience. One was reclaimed to the church; three were immersed, in the presence of a large crowd; two joined the church, and all were encouraged.

We had a good tract meeting; and the brethren and sisters took hold of the work better than ever before. A club of ten for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES was formed; S. B. was considered; and to close with, a solemn pledge to work as we never have in the past, was made by all present.
