LETTERS.

"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Bro. Dorcas.

Bro. Smith: We are now just in the midst of a revival of the feelings and interests of this community on the great subject of Bible truth. Bro. Cornell is here, and the enemy is not very well pleased to have the dormant Christians in these parts aroused to a sense of their whereabouts. And the fact that the Lord has a humble few, even in Tipton, who are willing to come out and be separate, produces a tremendous stir in Babylon.

We feel bound to express our gratitude to God for the saving power of his truth in this place, and our confidence that a little church will be raised up here, in fulfillment of the third angel's proclamation, "Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." You will, doubtless, soon have a full report of the meeting, but nevertheless I desire to say to the saints scattered abroad, Pray for us.

We are happy to learn that the church in Iowa City is recovering from the affliction it has been laboring under in consequence of the course of some half-hearted adherents.

The churches also at Lisbon and Mt. Vernon are prospering, for which we are truly thankful. Our meetings still continue at this place, and no doubt there will be a church established, as a goodly number have already come out.

Jesse Dorcas.

Tipton, Iowa.
