Tent No. 1, Douglas.

We have now taken down our tent, after a stay of over seven weeks.

Last Sunday we baptized five more, making seventeen in all. There are as many more who will, we think, be baptized soon. To the very last the interest was good, and the most of the people were friendly. We have never been in a place where the people were so fully convinced of the truth as they are here; scores have said that if they are ever converted they shall be Seventh-day Adventists. Our brethren who were here before we came, express themselves as refreshed and encouraged. The Sabbath-school has been re-organized, with a goodly increase of scholars. A great many from families who do not keep the Sabbath have said they were going to attend.

Our people, feeling the great need of a church, have, with energy and zeal, gone to work to build one.

Some have taken a stand for the truth since our last report. We have been here ten days. The people are anxious to hear. Last night there were five hundred out. We have labored all summer within seven miles of where we first pitched the tent, and the interest is still good. We expect to remain until after camp-meeting.
