Oakdale, June 24.

Meetings commenced here the 13th, and they still continue with increasing interest. The ministers of the place attend, and have done nothing as yet to hinder the work. One of them spoke in our tent yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. We have now reached the subject of the law and Sabbath. The people listen attentively, bringing their Bibles with them to see if these things are so.

Sabbath and Sunday, the brethren from Rayville and Taylor Valley were with us. Our prayer and social meetings on Sabbath were of special interest. Quite a number from the town and vicinity were present.

Pray for us that the work may be deep and thorough, and that precious souls may be converted to the truth.

We closed our meetings at Weeping Water, June 16. What the result of these meetings will be, the future must reveal. The people used the stay-away argument, which we could not meet. We visited from house to house. Some acknowledged we had the truth, and that it ought to be obeyed; but business, the mammon of this world, stands between them and their duty to God.

We pitched the tent at Syracuse and commenced meetings, June 19. Brethren, pray for us and the cause here, that some good may be accomplished.
