By Augustin C. Bourdeau

Since I set the tent in this place, we have had much rain, accompanied with heavy thunder and lightning, at the time of nearly every meeting; yet I have had a good hearing every evening, and the congregations have been large on Sundays. Last week some lawless and drunken persons annoyed us in our meetings; but I arranged to have two men appointed by a magistrate to perform the duty of special constables, to preserve order in and around the tents as long as the meetings shall last. This works well, and the interest is growing.
Held a meeting last Sabbath. A Scotchman and his wife decided to keep all the commandments. The people are kind to us, and our wants are well supplied. Some come the distance of twelve miles to hear the truth. Pray that some precious souls may be gathered in.
