Tent. No. 10, Coudersport, Sept. 9.

The interest here is still good. There has been but little open opposition, but considerable of the opposite kind. One minister spends much of his time visiting among the people, trying to quiet their consciences by telling them that it makes but little difference which day we keep, if we are only sincere. This, however, does not satisfy all; at our last Sabbath meeting about forty were present, and fifteen arose to express their determination to keep all the commandments. We expect others will join this company. E. W. WHITNEY. H. E. ROBINSON.

Tent. No. 9, Sunderlinville, Sept. 9.

It has been very quiet here till within a few days. About ten days ago the Christian minister who is located here commenced trying to defeat the work. Many of his members were leaving him. The opposition intend, when I am gone, to bring a man to set things in order, they say. I have asked them to do so while I am here, but as yet they decline, so I shall stay a few days longer. Two more have taken their stand on the Sabbath. Brethren, pray that the cause may prosper here. J. G. SAUNDERS.
