Sevastopol, Tent No. 1, Sept. 15.—The meetings during the past week have been of an interesting nature. Although the nights have been very cool, yet the congregations have decreased but little. Last night (Sunday) we had the largest congregation we have yet had. The Sabbath meeting was especially interesting. Some twelve are keeping the Sabbath. After a sermon, ten or fifteen gave in cheering testimonies, which gave evidence that their hearts were moved by the Spirit of God. Some of the conversions are remarkable. Four weeks ago they knew nothing of the views of S. D. Adventists, and some were non-professing, profane men. But what a change! Now these men pray, ask a blessing, and read the Bible and our publications all their spare time, even taking these books to their places of labor. A few weeks ago we purchased a set of Sr. White’s works for each one of our three tents. We lend ours to the most interested ones, and they are doing good.

Bro. Sharp reports an excellent meeting last Sabbath at Silver Lake, where a company of ten embraced the truth just before we moved the tent here.

We expect to remain here (Sevastopol) until the camp-meeting at Rochester. All letters addressed to the writer until camp-meeting should be directed to Rochester, Ind., as we are often there overseeing the preparation of the camp-ground. S. H. LANE.
