Bloomington, Ill.

As THE result of our efforts here, twenty have signed the covenant. Regular Sabbath meetings and Tuesday evening prayer-meetings are established. A Sabbath-school is organized with over thirty members. The tithing system is accepted, and the brethren have determined to carry it out practically. There is much opposition, and a bitter sectarian feeling against us. Four of the most prominent ministers have preached against us, and have been reviewed. In the minds of the unprejudiced, and those really hungering for the truth, the effort of the opposition has tended to strengthen rather than weaken them in the truth. We are of good courage.
