ILLINOIS

By Daniel T. Bourdeau

Aroma, Papineau, and Pittwood.—I am now giving lectures in two school-houses about four miles apart, near the Iroquois River and not far from Sugar Island, where the spiritualists held a large grove meeting last summer, and where they propose holding regular Sunday meetings next summer. The roads are almost impassable with carriages, so that people travel either on foot or on horseback; yet the interest is fair, and we look for some good results.

Accompanied by Bro. Nickerson, I have just made a three-days’ effort at and near Pittwood. We held five excellent meetings with the brethren and sisters, and many were revived in the work. We helped the church in the matter of discipline, and on other important points. A very few are going back, but new converts are replacing them, and the brethren and sisters generally are trying to improve. It is the privilege of the church at Pittwood not to be behind her sister churches in the district; I shall be disappointed if she is.

Aroma, Jan. 26. D. T. BOURDEAU.
