OGDEN, OCT. 25–27.—The company of Sabbath-keepers at Ogden have kept up meetings well since our tent left them last August. The Lord has blessed them. Some of their number were formerly non-professors. We might have a church here were it not that most of them expect to move away next spring. May God lead these dear souls wherever they may be.

SAC CITY, OCT. 29 TO NOV. 3.—Here the brethren and sisters are still of good courage in the Lord. The good Spirit was in our meetings, especially on Sabbath. I baptized two at this place. These friends have borne all the expenses of meetings at their place since they heard the truth, and have made some donations besides. May the Lord give his Holy Spirit to these dear friends, that they may be led by it till the time of reward.

At these two places I obtained four subscribers for the REVIEW and one for the INSTRUCTOR, and sold $3.58 worth of books and tracts. I held five meetings at each place. As my health is poor, I ask the prayers of the brethren and sisters. God is good, and in him I will put my trust.

Olin, Nov. 5.

THE interest in the tent-meeting recently held at Olin was excellent from the commencement to the close. The last evening the tent was crowded, and there were nearly as many more outside, giving the best of attention to a review of Dan. 2:7. The Lord gave Bro. Pegg great freedom. Twenty have signed the covenant, and more are waiting to hear the “other side” before taking a stand. An interesting Bible-class and Sabbath-school have been organized. A weekly prayer-meeting is also held.
