Plymouth and Bourbon.—I visited the little company at Plymouth April 28, and found them all of good courage in the Lord. I endeavored to set before them the importance of keeping God’s commandments, and forsaking the pleasures of this world. The Lord came very near by his Holy Spirit.
Was with the Bourbon company Sabbath, May 2, and took part in their Sabbath-school, after which I gave them a short discourse on the need of consecration to the Lord. R. J. STUREMAN.
May 3.
Among the Churches.—Beginning March 19 at Forest Chapel, I continued to labor among the churches in Dist. No. 5 until April 20, at which time I left that field to attend the State meeting at Rochester.
I held nine meetings at Forest Chapel; then went to Northfield and held ten meetings in connection with their quarterly services and tract and missionary meeting; thence to Noblesville, where ten services were held. Three persons were baptized and added to the church. A good missionary interest is manifest in this church; and the best report of the society since its organization was secured at that meeting. From Noblesville I went to Mechanicsburg, Eld. Rees joining me on the way there. We held nine services. Four were baptized and added to the church, three of them having made a start when Eld. Lane and the writer held a series of meetings there in the winter. At Noblesville and Mechanicsburg Vigilant Missionary societies were organized, which will meet every week. The subject of tithing was thoroughly set before the friends at the three places last mentioned, and unanimously indorsed.
From Mechanicsburg I returned to Forest Chapel, in company with Bro. Rees, where we held six meetings, and baptized ten persons who had previously started in the way of obedience. These, with the six who had preceded them in the truth, and the four or five others who have requested baptism when we return late in May, are soon to be organized into a church. They have a growing Sabbath-school of over thirty members. Wm. COVERT.
