Wyoming.—We commenced meetings here July 11, and have had a very good hearing so far. Am now alone, Bro. Morrison having gone home sick. We have some warm friends already, who remember us kindly.

Mount Ayr and Conway.—We closed our tent-meetings at Mt. Ayr July 13, after continuing a little over two weeks. One aged gentleman, who had heard the first message prior to 1844, in New Bedford, Mass., acknowledged the obligation of the Sabbath, and expressed a determination to keep it. A sister and her daughter, living a few miles from this place, who have been keeping the Sabbath for about a year, did what they could to help us in our work. Some are reading our tracts and papers. One of the wealthy citizens invited us to the hotel, free of charge, during the most of the time we were there. He is convinced that we have the truth; and may he open his heart to receive it. Bitter prejudice and false reports, no doubt, kept some away from the tent. Some would have it that we were “time setters,” and that the second Adventists of the “Pocasset tragedy” and our people were the same. Bro. G. V. Kilgore went home from this place; but we hope he may be with us again soon.

Our tent is now in Conway, Taylor Co., Iowa. We have given five discourses, with a good attendance. We invite all Sabbath-keepers in this vicinity to meet with us on the Sabbath, at 2:30 P. M. Bro. A. W. H. Millard is with me now. Brethren, pray for us.
