Smith Center, Nov. 4.—We began a series of meetings the 9th inst. in Bro. Rhodes's neighborhood. Although the weather has been damp and the nights dark, the interest thus far has been good, and the best of attention has been paid to the word spoken. Invitations to visit come in freely, and the people seem anxious to know whether these things are so. We introduce the Sabbath question next first-day.

Coopersburg, Rice Co., Nov. 16.—Since my last report, a Methodist minister has been here to defend Sunday. I reviewed him before the largest congregation we have had, and by the help of the Lord, the truth gained a complete victory.

Twenty-two have signed the covenant. We have organized a Sabbath-school, which takes twelve copies of the weekly Instructor. The penny contribution was adopted. Yesterday another good family kept their first Sabbath, and two were buried with their Lord in baptism. We praise God for what we see done here. Truly he is good.

I am now holding meetings five miles from Coopersburg, in Bro. Fishell's neighborhood. Have spoken only four times, but the opposition is already aroused, and a Christian preacher has spoken against the Sabbath. We ask an interest in the prayers of the people of God. R. F. BARTON.
