Pittswood, Ill.

By Daniel T. Bourdeau

We closed our effort with the tent near Pittswood, Sunday, July 20. Last Sabbath ten more persons were baptized. These were mostly children and youth. It was a blessed season. Among those who were baptized was a young Frenchman with whom I first became acquainted in France, where I took great delight in teaching him the truth. His testimony before his baptism was touching, and evinced intelligence. He will now prepare for the ministry. This was his object before embracing the truth. He will be with us at least till the Illinois camp-meeting.
We have given twenty-five discourses here since July 4, have baptized sixteen persons, obtained eleven subscribers for the Review, one for the Signs, and three for the College Record. We left forty-one members in the new church. D. T. Bourdeau.
