Chicago.—The meetings in Chicago closed Feb. 9. Bro. L. Johnson was with me most of the time. We held meetings in the English and Norwegian languages. The Scandinavian brethren were somewhat discouraged. We tried to help them what we could, and left them somewhat encouraged. Hope the work here may prosper. There was some interest among the Americans; and a number are investigating the truth, with prospects of their taking hold. O. A. OLSEN.

Aroma.—We are still holding meetings in two school-houses, and our first effort will continue over two more Sabbaths. We have had two Sabbath meetings. Several from St. Anne, Beaverville, etc., attended and took part, among whom were Bro. and Sr. Gros. May the Lord make them a blessing to his cause in these parts. Last Sabbath five signified their determination to be Christians, and a Sabbath-school of fifteen members was organized. We have had another conflict with spiritualists, whose complete failure led them to call a school meeting to turn us out of the house; but when it came to a vote, we had a majority, and our opponents met with another defeat. D. T. BOURDEAU. Feb. 20.
