Dupon, Indiana.

By William Covert; M. G. Huffman

THE interest in this place is good. We came here entire strangers four weeks ago, but have many warm friends now. Ten or more commenced keeping the Sabbath this week. This is a new field, and we had much unreasonable prejudice to overcome, but by humble devotion to God, and energetic work, we have succeeded in getting a good start in the work here. Our congregations are not large, but they are quite regular in attendance, and attentive. Although it is in the midst of harvest, there are from fifty to one hundred present each evening through the week.

We received the twenty copies of the SIGNS yesterday at noon. Have taken nineteen short-term subscriptions in less than one day's work.
