Labor among the Churches.—Since laboring at Liberty Pole in connection with Bro. Johnson, I have held meetings at Sand Prairie, Mt. Hope, Hurricane Grove, and Waterloo. At all these places the brethren seem to have a mind to work according to their ability. I have tried to bring the word of God plainly before them, and hope this effort has not been without good effect.

Jan. 17, 18, we held a Sabbath-school convention at Mt. Hope. All expressed themselves pleased with the exercises and profited by them, and resolved to put forth greater efforts to advance the Sabbath-school interest. The T. and M. work in Dist. No. 3 was in a languishing condition. Held two tract society meetings with them, and received pledges for the purchase of tracts. With these and the Signs we trust a good work will be done.

At the four places mentioned, we obtained forty-two subscribers for the Signs in clubs and several for the Review, ordered twenty-four copies of Spirit of Prophecy, organized health and temperance clubs at Sand Prairie and Mt. Hope, and obtained one hundred and sixty-five signers to the different pledges. The most of these have signed the teetotal pledge.
