Renton, Washington Territory.

By Chas. L. Boyd, Wm. L. Raymond

Our meetings with the tent closed at Scio, Oct. 1. As a result of the labors there, ten decided to keep the Lord's Sabbath, and we trust the most of these will become such Christians as may be an honor to the cause of truth.
The meetings closed with a review of a discourse by Mr. Stipp, the leading Baptist minister of the valley, in which he sought to prove that in the Old Testament no promise was ever made of afuture state, that the Sabbath reached only to the cross, and that in the Christian dispensation there is no weekly Sabbath of divine appointment.
This discourse and the review did more to win friends to the cause than anything which had been, or perhaps could have been done.
Chas. L. Boyd, Wm. L. Raymond.
