Blue Valley.—Sabbath and first-day, April 24, 25, profitable meetings were held with the Blue Valley church, which had never been fully organized, and could not celebrate the ordinances at the time of the regular quarterly meetings. On Sunday, after remarks by Eld. H. Shultz, the church proceeded to perfect their organization. They elected an elder and two deacons, who were ordained by Eld. Shultz. Three were added to the church, after which the ordinances of the Lord’s house were celebrated; and a sweet season in the history of the church was recorded.

J. BUCKLEY, Church Clerk.

Alma, Harlin Co., April 27.—I have spent three weeks in a series of meetings five miles northeast of Alma. Three were keeping the Sabbath when I came; they have since adopted the health reform. Some papers distributed by them awakened a family that embraced the truth eighteen years ago. They came six miles to the meeting, and have made a new start.

One man, a beloved physician, accepted the doctrine, but wishing to be assured of its effect upon the life, accompanied us to our good district meeting just past; and after spending over a week at the different homes, he says, “I never met such a people; they do love one another.”

During the meetings, two were baptized. April 24, a Sabbath-school of twenty-nine members was organized. Ten Instructors were ordered, also record and class books.

Satan is working hard against us, but God is good. Pray for this company and for me. GEO. B. STARR.
