LAPORTE CITY TENT MEETING.

By M. E. Cornell; B. F. Snook

SINCE our last report we have preached five times, with encouraging results. The straight testimony is generally received. Several of the old tobacco mongers have resolved to use the weed no more. On first-day we had another solemn baptismal scene. The whole number baptized since we began our testimony here is forty-four. Above sixty have decided to keep the Bible Sabbath, but as yet only forty-seven have their names recorded in church fellowship.
We go next to Waterloo, Blackhawk Co., Iowa, where we wish to be addressed for the present.
The fast-day was one of unusual solemnity to us, and we felt that it was acceptable as a day of returning to God. "Be zealous and repent" must signify a thorough reformation. We hope the remnant will raise the standard high and never lower it again. Brethren, pray for us.
