Allentown, Feb. 23.—I commenced holding meetings here Feb. 19. The interest has increased from the first. The country is sparsely settled, but last night there were about fifty in attendance. Some came eight or ten miles. There seems to be deep feeling among the people. One young man has begun to keep the Sabbath, just from hearing our lecture on Dan. 7. I feel the need of wisdom, lest I mar the work. I ask the prayers of God’s people, especially those that are acquainted with me.

Labor among the Churches.—Since my return to the Territory, have been visiting the churches, attending quarterly meetings, and giving special attention to tract-society matters; as the labor of tent season and my absence East had prevented my doing so for the last six months. Found matters in full as good condition as I expected, and the brethren all ready to work. Our general quarterly meeting was a success. There were representatives from nearly every company in the Territory. Ten of the Russian brethren were present. The officers of the tract society pledged their hearty co-operation in all branches of the work, and all went to their homes encouraged, feeling that the cause is in a prosperous condition. Have spent the last two Sabbaths in this place, and have succeeded in completing the organization of the Sabbath-school, organizing a tract society, and partially organizing a church. There are nine members in the church, and eleven in the tract society. Others will probably join soon. The brethren here manifest good zeal in the cause, and we have strong hope for their future success.
