NEW YORK.

Keene, Essex Co.—At this place a few are holding on to God and his word. They keep up their meetings, and have a very interesting Sabbath-school. We obtained two new subscribers for the REVIEW (besides renewals) and a club of twenty-seven copies of the Signs, organized a health and temperance club, sold $12 worth of books, and received from friends there $50 for various enterprises connected with the cause of present truth. They were much encouraged, and intend to take hold of the T. and M. work with renewed zeal and energy.

Pulaski, Greenboro, and Vermillion.—We attended a meeting of the Pulaski church at Pineville, Jan. 24, 25. Nearly all were ready to work in connection with the various enterprises now being carried on among us.

Held a two-days’ meeting at Greenboro, Jan. 31. The friends are still holding on to the truth. The director of the district, Bro. Wm. H. Brown, was with me, and we partially organized a T. and M. society. They all seemed willing and anxious to take hold in every department of the work, and we left them greatly encouraged.

The church in Vermillion needs help. Our meeting, however, was a very encouraging one, brethren being present from Roosevelt, West Monroe, and Parish. Bro. Wheeler rendered us timely assistance. A forward movement was made in introducing the volumes of Spirit of Prophecy and in the T. and M. work and health and temperance work, and in securing more fully the adoption of the tithing system. We think the truth gained a signal victory at this meeting, and that if a proper course is pursued by those now in trial, the clouds will soon be lifted and a better day will dawn.

Officers of the church were elected, and the business meetings were harmonious. M. H. BROWN.
