Olin, Jones Co.—From the 20th to the 25th of February I was at Olin. There is a good interest in the community here, and they gave us a favorable hearing. Most of the believers are young in the faith; but they manifest a commendable zeal in the work. The preaching was mostly of a practical nature, and was well received. Some of the brethren took “Spirit of Prophecy,” and all were supplied with Testimony No. 29. The preliminary steps were taken at this meeting for the erection of a meeting-house. A building committee was appointed, and $300 was pledged in a few moments. It is expected that others will help liberally. On the whole, I think the church was encouraged by my visit. Several of the brethren subscribed for Good Health, and more should have done so. Our brethren who do not have this valuable journal do not realize what a feast of good things they lose. I most heartily recommend it to all our people. It contains just the information we all need, and that we should put to practical use. E. W. FARNSWORTH.
