Bentonsport, May 23.

We have now given thirty discourses at this place, and still have an excellent interest. Fifteen have covenanted to keep the Sabbath, and we hope for some other good souls who admit we have the truth. I gladly accepted an invitation to lecture before the temperance society of this place, and spoke freely on the subject of Christian temperance. The lecture was well received, the entire congregation extending thanks. A gentleman from Vernon, just across the Des Moines river, arose and expressed himself well pleased, and invited me to repeat the lecture before their society, promising a good hearing. I lecture there to-night.
We have many invitations to present these last-day truths in villages around us, but cannot fill a tithe of the calls coming in. We shall remain here one week longer. The people are kind and anxious to hear. How much of the grace of God the minister who proclaims this solemn message needs. Last evening the Lord helped much in speaking on the subject of the “Mark of the Beast.” The Lord is good. L. McCoy.

Belvidere, May 17.

I came back to Belvidere, Monona Co., April 26. We had a good meeting, and the Lord was with us. Those that were convinced of the truth when I was there last winter are now keeping the Sabbath. Six were baptized on the 12th of May, three brothers in Christ and their wives. It was a beautiful day, and there was a large concourse of people assembled on the bank of the lake to witness the baptism. Some of the most reliable men and women in the county have commenced to keep the Sabbath. J. Bartlett.
