WE have gained another name to the covenant. Two were baptized October 30. We have secured fourteen signatures to the Teetotal Pledge, and half as many more to the Anti-rum and Tobacco Pledge. The last six weeks have been the most encouraging with our depository of any like period.

Having received an urgent invitation from the General Conference Committee to attend the General Conference in Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 1, I decide to go. I have nearly completed preparations for the journey, and have engaged passage by the “North German Lloyd” steamer Rhein, which is appointed to leave Southampton for New York, November 15. J. N.
