Clarence, Cedar Co., July 10.

We set our tent in this place to-day. Hope all the friends in this section will attend our meetings as much as possible. We desire the prayers of our brethren.

Cedar Falls, West Dayton, and Elkhorn.

June 22 to 26, I was with the church at Cedar Falls. We had good religious meetings, and a business meeting. One was added to the church by baptism.

I was at West Dayton, June 27–30. This is a live church, ready to labor in every branch of the work of God. I had not been here for more than a year, and we enjoyed the privilege of meeting, and speaking to one another of the goodness of God toward us. Bro. John Johnson was ordained elder in place of Bro. L. Johnson, who has removed to Illinois to labor among the Scandinavians there.

The Fourth of July we had a good grove meeting with our friends at Elkhorn. We also had a profitable quarterly meeting, July 6 and 7. It is a good plan to call the name of each member. Thirty-eight were present, and gave excellent testimonies. Six were absent, for good reasons.

Tent No. 1, Winterset, July 11.

The interest continues good. The Methodist minister has his guns mounted and prepared for battle. Next Sunday at eleven A. M. he preaches on the change of the Sabbath. At three P. M. Bro. Morrison reviews his discourse. Some have already decided to obey the commandments of God. We hope for others.

We look for Eld. Farnsworth soon.

Pray for us. T. A. KILGORE.
