TENT-MEETING AT LODI, WIS.

By John Norton Loughborough; T. M. Steward

This meeting which commenced Aug. 10th, continued over four Sabbaths, and was one of interest. The first week of the meeting our congregations were rather thin because people were still busy with their harvests, and because there was much prejudice in the minds of some on account of false reports which were circulated against us. But as the people came in to hear, this prejudice to a great extent gave way, and we had much freedom in talking the truth to the people. We sold $30.00 worth of books in the place; and when we left there were over twenty who had decided to keep the Sabbath. We expect others will take a stand upon the truth, and that the cause will still move on in Lodi.

We are now in Cherry Grove, Ills. Have given eight discourses. The interest is good, and we have hope to see something accomplished here, with the Lord's blessing upon the effort.
