Calhoun, Richland Co.—I have been holding meetings here four weeks. We occupied the school-house three weeks, and it was then closed against us. We have since been holding meetings in private houses. Ten have signed the covenant, but two of whom were keeping the Sabbath before I came here. Several are investigating, some of whom I hope will obey. Regular Sabbath meetings have been established. I have sold $2.90 worth of tracts, and have obtained three new subscribers for the Signs and one for the Instructor.

I go south this week to visit the churches.

Campbell, Dec. 21.—I have lately held meetings at Willow Hill, Greenup, and Campbell. At Willow Hill our brethren are much scattered, and they had not heard any of our ministers preach for months before I met with them. They received the word gladly.

I spoke on the subject of Christian temperance while at Greenup, and was rejoiced to see thirteen sign the different pledges. Among them were some outsiders. There is much to be done yet, and we hope that the friends will go forward with the work.

We found the friends at Campbell holding fast to the truth. May we all “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the truth.”
