TOWNSEND.—We closed our meetings here Sunday eve, July 21. We leave fifteen keeping the Sabbath, who will meet together. Our meetings continued five weeks. Obtained several subscribers for the SIGNS, sold thirteen dollars’ worth of books, and received from collections $8.03. The fact that there had been two tent-meetings here in the last four years did not help us any; yet, with the blessing of God, a small company of honest souls have been led to take hold of the truth.

CLINTON, JULY 25.—We arrived here Tuesday morning at 4:30, and by the time the people were getting up we had our tent erected. Shall hold our first meeting this evening. We desire the prayers of all God’s dear people. D. A. ROBINSON

From a letter from E. J. H., Newburyport, Mass., we take the following:—

We are having very good meetings. Some seem to be seeking after the truth. Our company now numbers about thirty-five. Three or four not of the church believe in the ultra-sanctification doctrine of these days. They meet with us, but the farther they drift from us the closer it unites us together.

Brn. Bedee and Mooney were with us yesterday, July 27, and gave us an interesting discourse on the Eastern Question. We greatly enjoy a visit from a preacher; but as long as we keep with the Lord we shall prosper.
