Silver Lake, Tent No. 1, July 15.—I have held five meetings here, with an average attendance of one hundred and twenty-five. This is a town of six hundred inhabitants. The people have kindly furnished an organ and organist, and several have invited us to their homes. I am alone, but expect Bro. Lane will be with me soon. Pray that the word may prosper. W. W. Sharp.

Warrington, Tent No. 2, July 15.—We have now spoken twenty times, and the interest is on a constant increase. Some have decided to keep all God’s commandments. Last Sabbath we had a good meeting. The brethren from Mechanicsburgh met with us. We are having some opposition. Next Wednesday night, Eld. Williams of the Baptist denomination will speak in favor of the “Lord’s day,” or Christian Sabbath. Our congregations still range from 200 to 500. Have sold books to the amount of $16.31, and received $3.55 as donation. J. M. Rees. J. S. Shrock. Victor Thompson.

Arcadia, Tent No. 3, July 15.—Twelve have signed the covenant, nine of whom have embraced the truth since we began meetings. Others are waiting to hear the other side, which is to be given by Eld. Frazier, (Disciple), who has been called in to oppose the truth. He begins this evening. We expect this opposition will help us much. Donations amount to $10.46, which exceeds our expenses so far. Book sales amount to $8.50. Could have sold many more, had our supply been equal to the demand. We expect to continue meetings here until the Noblesville camp-meeting. Wm. Covert. J. P. Henderson.
