Reese’s Mills, Boone Co., Tent No. 1.

THIS is a small town; but the interest seemed to demand that we pitch the tent here. Thus far, our congregations range from eighty to two hundred and fifty. The people are very kind to us. Some seem deeply interested.

Brn. Richards and Shrock assist in tent labor. We hope, through the blessing of God, for success. S. H. LANE.

IOWA.

Iconium, Appanoose Co., June 20.

WE have pitched the new Southern Iowa tent in Iconium, and we commence meetings to-morrow. The people seem very friendly. They helped in erecting the tent. Should be glad to see any of our brethren who may live near here at the tent, on the Sabbath or at any other time.

Address us at this place for the present. C. A. WASHBURN.

Ogden, June 24.

THE interest kept up good the past week, and the audiences also. Last evening the tent would not hold the people. Seventeen teams were in from the country, and nearly as many more persons came on horseback. The people take us to their homes, and ask us to pray with them. A few have commenced to keep the Sabbath. There were thirty-six at our Sabbath meeting day before yesterday.

Bro. Bartlett started this morning to hold meetings at Guthrie Center; a sister from Battle Creek requested us to come here. Bro. Wing, my brother Scott, and myself are now together. G. V. KILGORE.

Winterset, Tent No. 1, June 27.

OPENED meetings here June 18. Fine weather, large audiences, strict attention, deep interest, and perfect order have attended our meetings from their commencement. Bro. J. H. Morrison, who has done all the preaching so far, has had good freedom in speaking. We have many invitations to visit. We may justly hope that some good will be done. Bro. Hollenbeck is not with us yet. Pray for us. T. A. KILGORE.

Maquoketa, June 26.

I LABORED at this place one week, with good results. Most of the Scandinavians have left the town, so our congregations were small; but those that attended were interested. I thought best not to spend a long time here. On Monday, June 17, we were made glad by the baptism of three good souls. I leave here a company of seven who have promised to live for God in keeping his commandments and the faith of Jesus. These friends have paid most of the expense of my visit here. JOHN F. HANSON.
