MISSISSIPPI

By J. M. Elliott

— Jasper Co., April 26.—I close my labors at this place this evening. Have delivered seventeen discourses, and the interest is good. Seventeen adults are keeping the Sabbath, and a Sabbath-school of twenty-six members has been organized. Others speak of joining next Sabbath. Ten copies of the weekly Instructor will be taken for the school.
I think this is a good field of labor. The people are anxious to hear, though there is some prejudice. I Should like to have ministerial help. I think it is greatly needed; it looks as though a great work might be accomplished here. If any of the brethren have reading matter that they can send me at Bladen Springs, Ala., it will be thankfully received. I shall return here again soon, and look after the interest. Brethren, pray for the cause in the far South.
J. M. ELLIOTT.
