Belleville, St. Lawrence Co., Nov. 17.—

We have held six meetings at the Belleville school-house, six miles from Russell and four from Edwards. Although the week has been remarkably rainy, our meetings have been well attended. Our audiences range from forty to seventy.

We hold a free singing-school before each meeting except on Friday and Sunday nights. This seems to add to the interest. One of the leading men in the community has publicly defended us against the cry, “What have these prophecies to do with saving man's soul?” To the astonishment of everybody he also stated that he agreed with our interpretation of the prophecies in every point but one. He thought the fifth kingdom was set up at the first advent of Christ. We announced to speak on that point next Tuesday evening.

We ask our friends to pray for us earnestly; also to send us papers and tracts for distribution. We will send names to missionary workers.

Our P. O. address is Edwards (Belleville), St. Lawrence Co., N. Y.
