Ellicottsville, N. Y., July 22.—We pitched our tent here June 26. Have given in all twenty-three discourses, on the prophecies, second advent, and Sabbath. There is a deep interest manifest. At the close of our meeting last Sabbath, eighteen expressed their determination to keep the commandments, the Sabbath precept included. All these may not prove reliable, but we look for a goodly number to obey the truth. We have had an opposition sermon on the Sabbath from “Rt. Rev. A. C. Coxe, bishop of western New York.” We also have the influence of Dr. Morin of Boston against us. He is teaching “science,” falsely so-called. This, together with the opposition of the local ministers, makes a strong current to meet. But so far the Lord has graciously sustained his work, and in him alone we humbly trust for its success. Praise his name.

D. B. Oviatt. Potter Brook, Pa., Tent No. 2, July 21.—We have held in all thirty meetings. The interest has kept up, and we have had an increasing attendance. We have presented the subject of the law, and last evening took up the Sabbath question. After the discourse, a vote was taken to see how many were willing to indorse the Seventh-day Sabbath as the only Sabbath binding. Fifteen or more voted in favor of the Bible Sabbath. Most of these are heads of families, many of whom were never converted. The prejudice has wonderfully subsided since our coming here. Brethren, pray for us, that God will give us a harvest of souls for the heavenly garner.
