Since June 26 I have visited the churches at Marietta, Mount Hope, Waterloo, Hurricane Grove, Sand Prairie, Kickapoo Center, Hillsborough, Debello, and Baraboo. We enjoyed good meetings at each of these places, and left the companies of Sabbath-keepers much encouraged. At Mount Hope, Waterloo, Sand Prairie, Kickapoo Center, Hillsborough, Debello and Baraboo they have good Sabbath-schools. Am glad to see the interest in this branch of the work increasing. Baptized three at Kickapoo Center, five at Hillsborough, and five at Debello. JOHN ATKINSON.

Sturgeon Bay, Tent No. 1.—The average attendance at our meetings is not quite so large as at first, but the real interest is on the increase. There is a very bitter and underhanded opposition, but the Lord is blessing his truth. Yesterday we baptized five. Next Sunday some others will move forward. We shall still labor on here, as the Lord has been pleased to give us a great victory. To his name be all the praise. O. A. OLSEN. E. G. OLSEN.

Rochester, Tent No. 3, Sept. 4.—Our meetings at this place continue with an increase of interest. Last Sunday evening about three hundred were present to listen to a discourse on the Sabbath. The people are in the valley of decision. Some think they must keep the Sabbath in the future; others want a little more time before deciding. We are hopeful that a company may be raised up here that will obey God by keeping all of his commandments. We have had no open opposition as yet; but there is quite a strong undercurrent at work to keep the people from taking hold of the truth. C. W. OLDS. E. M. CRANDALL.
