Stromsburg, Waco and Seward, Nov. 24.—The quarterly meeting with the Stromsburg church was good. The Saviour came very near to us by the Holy Spirit. Two were baptized. A health and temperance club was organized, all but one of the thirty-four members signing the teetotal pledge. The Constitution and By-laws recommended by the American H. and T. Association were read and adopted.

Found the Waco church on the background, having neither meetings nor Sabbath-school. I reorganized the Sabbath-school, and they will now hold regular Sabbath-school and meetings. May the Lord help them to realize the times in which we are living and the importance of a closer walk with God.

I then came to Seward. The brethren and sisters here seem to manifest a desire to walk in the light of present truth. A health and temperance club was organized, twelve members signing the teetotal pledge, and four the anti-rum and tobacco pledge. Mr. J. B. Finch, the great temperance lecturer of the West, signed the teetotal pledge, and became a full member of this club. H. SHULTZ.

Dry Creek, Nov. 23.—The meetings at Dry Creek were continued three weeks with only a small interest, and closed yesterday. A Sabbath-school of thirteen members was organized; five copies of the Instructor are taken, and three Song Anchors were sold.

The old lady eighty-six years of age, mentioned in last report, was baptized. GEO. B. STARR.
