We would say that at our Panton Tent Meeting, although well attended and the truth faithfully presented, the mass manifested but little interest. Much light they heretofore have had and rejected; yet there were some who deeply felt, and decided to keep the Sabbath. A Baptist Elder at the close of a Sabbath sermon, with a nervous agitation arose and said he knew why the Tent was there, it was to create discord, and said, a majority kept the first day there, and worked six days and rested the next day, and with much modern theology supported nothing to the disgust of his friends.
Our next meeting at East Braintree, was entirely on new ground; but truly it was a meeting of as much interest, as any we have had. Especially on Second-day, it had deep searching work that melted the hearts, and caused tears freely to flow, while we reviewed our pathway that the Lord had led us, and thrilling exhortations were poured forth from full souls. Three humble souls promised to keep the Sabbath; and we believe others will, from what they said.
The expose of Spiritualism stirred a cage of mediums, and a sorceress gave a short but viperish lecture at the close of our exposing Satan's working.
Our meeting at Unity, N. H., was where the brethren are scattered—some good warm-hearted brethren. We had a free time in presenting the truth. Tent full on First-day. Evening meeting, in the town-house, influence good, as manifested by a large portion of a large congregation, by rising at the close of the sermon, requesting a meeting this evening. We have cast our "bread upon the waters" and trust that our "labor is not in vain in the Lord."

P. S.—Sept. 26th. Held meeting last evening in the town-house according to notice. A good congregation. Had a free time; and the silence and deep interest manifested encouraged our poor hearts, and the acknowledgment of the true Sabbath and that we had the truth, made us rejoice, while they urged us to come there again to feed their hungry souls.
