Cook's Corners.

The large Ohio tent is still at Cook's Corners. It was located while Bro. St. John and myself were attending to business with the churches south and west. The brethren did the best they could under their circumstances, but had either of us been there it would, probably, not have been pitched in that place. Very much depends on the location.

But two things reconcile us to the situation. We have had scarcely any good weather for tent-meetings; and we see good fruit of the effort made.

Bro. Mann, who joined me in the work, remained about ten days, and then returned home, concluding that in health he was not fitted for tent labor.

Since we put up a stove in the tent, it is quite comfortable, at least most of the time.

We do not yet know how many will keep the Sabbath, but several are fully decided. We hope for more.

It is not yet decided whether we shall pitch next in Sandusky City or in Springfield. J. H. WAGGONER.

Sandusky, June 10.

Parkman, Geauga Co., June 11.

On account of cold evenings we did not pitch our tent until June 4, though we began our meetings the 7th of May, in the Methodist house, which the people freely offered us.

The interest has increased since the commencement of the meetings, and many come in from the surrounding towns, while many of the best people of the place are almost constant attendants.

The people are the most friendly we have ever met, and we have invitations every day to visit them at their homes.

We have canvassed the Sabbath question, and some are convinced that we have the truth.
