TENT MEETING AT DAVIS, ILLS.

By John Norton Loughborough

THIS meeting continued until Sept. 9, and although the excitement occasioned by war near the south line of the State was great, and strong efforts were being made to raise volunteers in Davis, yet on the whole we had an interesting time, and succeeded in awakening many to a sense of the time in which we are living, and the importance of Bible truth. The Methodists labored very hard to keep the people away, telling them we were polished infidels; but all to no purpose: they had got a taste of the truth and were determined to hear the end of the matter.
At our last meeting in the tent there, we took a vote to see how many were convinced of the truth, and nearly one hundred voted in favor of the Sabbath. Several have decided to keep the Sabbath, but we do not know how many. Bro. Sanborn was to return after the Avon conference and labor more in the place We expect quite a number will come out and obey the truth. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH. Battle Creek, Sept. 19, 1861.
