Friendsville, May 12.—We pitched our tent here May 3. Only a few were out the first night, but the congregations have increased from the first. A Universalist reviewed us on the subject of the advent, but he used more sarcasm than argument, and his effort resulted in making us many warm friends. The first of next week we begin on the subject of the law of God. Several have expressed a desire to hear on the Sabbath question. We expect Bro. Shonk here next week to help us. Pray for us.

Kankakee and Iroquois Counties.—Sabbath, April 24, I spoke to the French near Kankakee. I spent Sabbath, May 1, at Pittwood, where I baptized two persons. Last Sabbath I was in Aroma. Baptized four persons, and attended to the ordinances. I have also held one meeting at Kankakee. Three persons have been added to the Kankakee church, two to the Pittwood church, and three to the Aroma church. At Aroma, most of the French brethren and sisters of St. Anne being present, I spoke in French as well as in English. The Kankakee church took another club of ten Signs.
