MOBILE.—A general meeting was held for this church November 1-4, at Semmes, Ala., not far from Mobile. Elder A. J. Haysmer, conference president, was with us, and we expected Elder Smith Sharp, but other duties prevented his attendance. The services were well attended by our own people. Time was devoted to the reading of Testimonies that had been received too late for reading at our camp-meeting. The spiritual interest of the meeting was good, and the needs of the cause, when presented, met with a hearty response, and quite a sum was raised in cash and pledges for the $150,000 fund and other funds.

The home missionary spirit was revived, and a club of twenty-five copies of the Watchman was subscribed for, and one hundred copies of the special number were ordered. A club of thirty-five copies of Liberty was subscribed for to send to the officials of Mobile County and city. Several sets of Family Bible Teacher were taken for use among neighbors and friends. At the close of the meeting all expressed themselves as being greatly benefited and encouraged.
