Birmingham, Iowa.

By Ira J. Hankins, E. J. Waggoner

MEETINGS closed in Birmingham, last Sunday evening, with a good interest and over three hundred in attendance. As the result of these meetings, fourteen are keeping the Sabbath.
Some of the most influential citizens help to make up this number. Several others are almost persuaded to obey, and we hope soon to have a strong church. They will have regular Sabbath meetings and Sabbath-school, and we shall meet with them frequently. We feel to thank God for the success that attends our labors.
We pitched our tent in this place yesterday. This is a city of one thousand inhabitants, situated on the Des Moines River. And now, at the beginning of the work here, we shall try to consecrate ourselves anew to the Lord, and seek a closer walk with him.
