Dunkirk.

We have good news to report from Dunkirk. Two lone Sabbath-keepers living at this place invited Brn. Underwood and Rupert here to lecture. They came directly from the camp-meeting. These are young brethren, with but little experience. The Lord opened the way so that they obtained a good hall, and they remained seven weeks. They managed so that they did not make a dollar’s expense. We love to see young men starting out this way, instead of bringing in heavy bills for the Conference to pay. There are plenty of openings in Ohio, where there are from one to five Sabbath-keepers who would meet all the expenses of a series of meetings, and thus save the Conference fund. We recommend our ministers to seek such openings instead of going where they will necessarily have to hire a hall and pay their board and all other expenses.
The brethren raised a good interest here. Though they met with very bitter opposition, fifteen or twenty grown persons embraced the Sabbath. We came here last Friday, advertised thoroughly, and began meetings again. Our audiences were very large, larger than we expected, and thus far they have increased at every meeting so that we now have a very great interest. The whole village is stirred, and a great many are in the valley of decision. We shall remain another week at least, to follow up the interest. We hope to see several able men take their stand with us.
A wealthy merchant and banker whose wife is heartily in the truth, furnishes a good hall, lighted and warmed, free of expense, and boards us besides. We hope the Lord will open his heart to obey the truth; he loves it and throws all his influence in favor of it now.

Solon, Cuyahoga Co., Nov. 21.

DURING the past two weeks I have been holding meetings in a school-house three miles from Solon. The interest is good; some who have attended religious meetings for years are present every evening. One young lady walked two miles through mud, rain, and darkness to attend one of our meetings.
Have sold over three dollars’ worth of books. May the Lord greatly bless in this place.
