Mesopotamia, May 5.—May 1, 2, I was with the Sabbath-keepers at North Solon. On the Sabbath we enjoyed a good meeting. Several came in from other places. I spoke twice to good audiences in the schoolhouse. I trust that some here are moving toward the kingdom. As I parted with Bro. Thomas, he left $5.00 in my hand to help forward the work. R. A. UNDERWOOD.

Van Wert and Mendon.—May 7 I met with the members of the Van Wert society. One was baptized and added to the church. Since our Institute, the Librarian of this society has in a few days sold nearly $10 worth of books. This church is growing spiritually as well as in numbers.

The 8th, I spoke to the brethren of the Mendon church. Quite a number have lately been added to the Sabbath-school. The 9th, I held three meetings at this place. I baptized a sister in the St. Mary’s River, where nine years ago I witnessed the baptism of the first Seventh-day Adventist I ever saw. We felt the Spirit of God with us.

Since our Institute I have sold $20 worth of books. I now expect to close my labors at this place with a short tent effort. Until that time I shall hold meetings at different school-houses in the neighborhood, and canvass for books and periodicals. G. G. RUPERT.
