Labor among the Churches.—During the winter I have visited nearly all the companies in the State, and have spent several days at each place, encouraging, strengthening, and instructing the brethren. At Denison, Plano, Cleburne, Clifton, and Peoria, organizations were perfected, and officers were ordained.

We have been much encouraged to see the unanimity and readiness on the part of the brethren and sisters to adopt the tithing system, and to enter into the tract and missionary, the Sabbath-school, and the health and temperance work.

At each place there were accessions to the church, and others are more or less interested. At Peoria, sixteen have been added to the church, and five were baptized yesterday. At this place also a vigilant missionary society has been organized, and clubs of the Signs and College Record have been ordered. I attended the quarterly meeting here last Sabbath and Sunday, which was appointed for that time so that I might be present, before my departure to attend the quarterly meetings at Cleburne, Dallas, and Plano respectively, and to fill other appointments previous to commencing tent-labor.
