Hoopeston and Vicinity.—The battle goes well, especially in a field four miles from Hoopeston, whence our most interested hearers come to the tent. I have thoroughly canvassed the Sabbath question. Five more kept last Sabbath with us. These additions, with those of our converts who had moved here, make a company of twelve keeping all the commandments.
Bro. Tait, of Onarga, a dealer in fruit trees, has spared no pains in preparing the way for us by the distribution of tracts while attending to his business. “Go thou and do likewise.”
Oct. 6. D. T. BOURDEAU.
Gridley.—I commenced meetings with the brethren here Thursday evening, Oct. 2, and remained over Sunday. A deacon was ordained, and a church clerk chosen. One good sister was reclaimed who through discouragement had given up the truth. Two were received by letter, and one by vote of the church. These dear friends of the truth are buckling on the armor anew. They have a good Sabbath-school. May the Lord abundantly bless them.
Oct. 7. R. F. ANDREWS.
