Interest in the Iowa Tent Meetings
Bro. Cornell reports a good interest with the Iowa tent at Richmond, Iowa, so much so that rainy nights and bad going do not prevent a good audience. He says: "Last night it rained hard till near meeting time, and the streets were all water and mud, and no sidewalks—the water had swept through under the tent, and it was very damp and chilly, yet there was a good audience and a good meeting. One man came five miles through the prairie mud, he said to hear the third angel's message. Two preachers have disturbed our meeting so much by contradicting, whispering and laughing, that their own members are are out with them."
