Iconium and Garden Grove, Aug. 12.

WE closed our meetings in Iconium, July 21. As a result of our labors, nine signed the covenant. We have never been in a community where the feeling was so friendly as here. The people bore all our expenses. A large majority of them belonged to no church, and some were avowed infidels; yet all treated us kindly, inviting us to their homes and talking with us freely. We were strongly urged to come again this fall or winter, when there could be a

better attendance. Many are already convinced of the truth, and almost all are favorable, and we hope many of these kind friends will be found among the redeemed on Mount Zion.

Bro. Minos Miller was with me the last three weeks of our labors here.

The tent is now located in Garden Grove, Decatur county. Eld. E. W. Farnsworth was here the first week. Bro. Miller is now with me. The interest is good. We are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. Last night the tent was full, and many stood outside. C. A. WASHBURN.

Winterset.

Closed our meetings at this place, with a full tent, Aug. 4, after giving over fifty discourses. About fifteen have embraced the truth, and those already obeying have been strengthened and encouraged. We think good Sabbath meetings and a Sabbath-school can be sustained here.

We are now at Carlisle. Have given five discourses. People come out well, and are interested. May God bless the work here. J. H. MORRISON.
