NEW YORK.

By M. H. Brown

Labor among the Churches.—March 20, 21, I visited the company of Sabbath-keepers at South Rutland, and found them growing in the truth, and sustaining weekly meetings and Sabbath-school.

Was at Mannsville March 27. This church is sadly in need of help. It is being severely tested by trials, and some, we fear, will not bear the test.

March 28, I visited the friends at Goodenough. They were all holding on, and most of them making some progress. Tobacco still holds two or three as victims. Truly, appetite controls the masses.

April 1-3 and 14, I was with the Pulaski church. This church has some who may be excellent workers, and we now look for them to take hold with greater interest than ever before. We raised a club of Signs; they are now taking nineteen copies.

I attended the church and district quarterly meetings at Adams Center, April 4 and 17, 18. Sabbath, the 17th, we had an excellent meeting; the Spirit of the Lord was graciously present. We raised a club of Signs for the church here.

I was at Roosevelt April 10, 11, and attended the quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 2, which was held here. Raised a club of ten for the Signs. There is a manifest improvement in this church.

The H. and T. work was also considered, and close, practical remarks were made on that subject. Nearly all are taking hold of this branch of the work well. Those who fail to keep pace with our people in this good work, will soon become blind, so they cannot see afar off.
