THE CAUSE IN ENGLAND.

By John Norton Loughborough

Since my last report we have been made glad by another earnest worker taking her stand to obey the truth, as the result of reading and missionary correspondence. Two others who have decided to obey, expect to move to Southampton next week, and as they commence business here, commence also to observe the Lord's Sabbath.

We get many interesting letters from persons reading the papers. In these they express their thanks for them, and speak of the new light thus imparted to their minds.

On a recent Sunday I held two meetings in the Town Hall in Ramsey, seven miles from Ravenswood. I found a good interest to hear, and learned that a number there are already believers in the doctrine of "No eternal life out of Christ." We decided to pitch our tent in Ramsey. It is a neat city of some six or seven thousand inhabitants.

We have this week erected our tent in a beautiful meadow in the eastern part of the Borough. Our first meeting will be on Sunday, June 20, at 3 P. M. For the present I hold only four meetings a week in the tent, and Bro. Ings is acting as tent-master. Bro. Andrews expects to join me in a few days if his health will admit of it. If he does we will then have more meetings.

Our tent comes out in much better condition than we feared it would after such an exposure to the wet as it had last year. There seems a fair prospect of a better season for tenting this year. As yet we have had no more rain than is needful for the prosperity of the crops.

May the Lord give success to the proclamation of the truth, and may its light spread until many shall see and obey; and thus a people be made ready for the coming of the Master.
