Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Sep 11, 1879

Kennedy, Sept. 1.—Have been holding meetings in this vicinity, and as the result three persons have resolved to keep the commandments. I do not anticipate any more fruit, as people are not interested enough to investigate. E. Russell.

South Rutland, Tent No. 3, Aug. 25.—Took down our tent to-day, after a stay of eight weeks. We have given fifty-two discourses, sold $4.00 worth of books, obtained two subscribers for the REVIEW, two for the Signs, six for the Instructor, and two for Good Health, and have received over $10.00 in donations. Twelve are keeping the Sabbath, and others are very favorable. We have secured the Union church for our public services, and we leave a strong public sentiment in our favor. We believe the Lord has more honest souls here who will be gathered in, if the friends hold up the standard and live humbly.

Carthage, Sept. 2.—We pitched our tent here Aug. 25, and commenced meetings the 27th. The interest to hear is excellent, and the people are very friendly, supplying our temporal wants, and helping us in the musical exercises. We take up the Sabbath question to-night. Bro. E. W. Whitney has now arrived, and his help is timely and much appreciated. M. H. Brown. C. C. Lewis.

Watson, Lewis Co., Sept. 1.—Since our last report we have moved our tent about two miles to a more central point, where we have much larger congregations and a steady attendance of interested hearers. Some are already acknowledging the truth. During the past week we have dwelt upon the close testing themes of our message; but our audience does not diminish. The seats were filled last evening, and quite a large number remained outside, listening to the sermon. Monday evenings, as usual, we present the subject of temperance, and obtain a good many signers to the pledge. We expect to remain here awhile longer. J. Wilbur. H. H. Wilcox.
