Covington, Hill Co., June 10.—I was delayed here two weeks on my way to the Norwegian settlement in Bosque Co.
About a year ago seven persons here began to keep the Sabbath, from reading; since then four more have joined them. I gave ten discourses, mostly on the law and the Sabbath; and four more expressed a willingness to keep the Sabbath, and to suffer reproach with the people of God. Others are convinced, and we hope a few will yet join us.
I crave the prayers of all the faithful of the Lord.
A. W. JENSON.
Denison, Tent No. 1.—I remained here a week after tent labor closed, and spent the time in visiting; also met with the friends in Sabbath and Wednesday evening prayer-meetings. Here were gathered together those who had been numbered with worldlings, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Universalists, Baptists, Christians (Campbellites), and Roman Catholics. It was good to see them united, humbly testifying to the harmony of present truth, and stating that in receiving new light they had found Christ anew, and more precious. Obtained four more subscribers to our periodicals. Here are twenty-three who keep the Sabbath.
Savoy.—Have held four meetings here. The tent is filled. Some are coming seven, eight, and ten miles to attend the meetings. The Methodists are holding a protracted meeting next door to us; but we labor on. While I write, I am suffering severely from poison. Last Sabbath, while walking in the grove, I encountered an ivy vine. Monday my face was so swollen it was difficult for me to see, and now the poison has spread over my entire body; but I have not lost a meeting on account of it. God has blessed in speaking the word. I hope for good.
