TENT MEETING IN ILLINOIS.

By Isaac Sanborn, Wm. S. Ingraham

BRO. WHITE: We have been in Princeville three weeks to-day. We have labored against much Sectarian opposition, but the Lord gave us much liberty, and truth has triumphed to the glory of God.
Last Sabbath we organized a church of twenty-five members, and to-day more will be baptized. The arguments used against us by Sectarians in Princeville have ranged as follows: First they discussed with us eight evenings, and failed. Then they cut and carried off three ropes, and failed. Then they brought rotten eggs and of course they failed. And when we were requested by the brethren, who own more than half the Christian meeting house, to hold three meetings therein, the Dragon turned the key; but all to no purpose; for a Universalist gentleman in the place having a large hall, opened it to us free, for which he has our thanks. So truth is still triumphing in Princeville. Praise the Lord.
We pitch the tent the Sixth in Elmwood, Peoria Co., Ills., which will be our address till further notice is given. ISAAC SANBORN, WM. S. INGRAHAM. Princeville, June 4th, 1862.
