Frankton.—May 8-10, we held five meetings at Frankton. The interest is increasing. On Sunday I preached the funeral discourse of Sister Sarah Chalfant, whose obituary was published about two months ago. A large concourse of people were present. All seemed pleased with the discourse, and a solemn impression was made. A sister of the deceased was baptized and added to the church.

The Sabbath-school is improving in interest and numbers. The club of Instructors was increased from ten to fifteen. Several persons here are almost persuaded to obey the truth. I think they will decide soon.

Walkerton, May 10.—The Lord is still blessing our labors here. Last Sabbath we organized a church of twenty-five members, three of whom were formerly members of the S. D. A. church of North Liberty. The church has prepared a large room for meeting purposes, in which regular services are held every Sabbath. Many of those who now constitute the church were inveterate and excessive tobacco-users, but by God’s help they have thoroughly cleansed themselves from this filthiness of the flesh.

Our success in Walkerton is due largely to the missionary labor of a sister who diligently and successfully solicited purchasers for S. D. A. publications in the town and vicinity, before we began our meetings. Send the missionary workers in advance of the preachers.
