Potter Brook, Penn.

By J. G. Saunders, Phillip Kent

WE strike our tent to-day if the weather will permit. Have held in all eighty meetings. Our congregations were good during the first five weeks, by which time we had canvassed the Sabbath question. Then, by vote, twenty acknowledged the Bible Sabbath binding.

Strong prejudice prevailed here among the no-law Adventists. We called them into the tent, and asked them to have the manly courage and Christian courtesy to state publicly their position, and we would meet them; but they refused. They finally challenged us for a discussion on the two covenants. We accepted the challenge, and held three meetings in the tent. These were very exciting times. From this effort ten took their stand on the side of the Bible Sabbath. The interest has kept up from first to last. The last evening of our meetings, the tent was filled, although it rained hard.
