Dunkirk, Hardin Co., Sept. 24.

By R. A. Underwood; G. G. Rupert

This is a town of about two thousand inhabitants, on the P. Ft. W. and C. railroad. The hall that had been promised us was occupied by a holiness band three nights each week. We commenced meetings Sept. 8, and have held meetings in a school-house two miles from town when we could not occupy the hall. Sept. 21, we held our first Sabbath meeting. Seven, all heads of families, expressed their determination to keep all the commandments. Several others have decided to obey.

Last Sunday the holiness party said, that “the wolves had been here for two weeks, devouring the sheep.” As a result, they left the hall; and Mr. Woodruff, whose wife is keeping the Sabbath, says that we can have the free use of the hall, without interruption, as long as we want it.

The interest has increased from the first. The leading men of the place attend our meetings. Many admit the truth, and that it is their duty to obey. Have sold several dollars’ worth of books. Remember us in your prayers. R. A. UNDERWOOD. G. G. RUPERT.
