Indiana

ROCHESTER AND AKRON.—I visited Rochester in January, and held a two-weeks' meeting in a schoolhouse six miles north of town. In the midst of the interest the schoolhouse was closed. One family of five, however, took their stand for the truth.

After holding a meeting for a few weeks in our church in Rochester, I held a two-weeks' meeting in the church at Akron. Here the church had been rented, and the few Sabbath-keepers that were left had not held any meetings for over two years. The Akron church was greatly revived. Backsliders returned, and two united with the church for the first time.

After visiting other places, we pitched a tent near the schoolhouse mentioned above, and four took their stand for the commandments of God. Thirteen have united with the church since January, nine for the first time.

The Lord be praised for success. My courage in the message is good, and I expect to push the work until its close. B. HAGLE.

MUNCIE.—I began meetings at this place the latter part of August. The Lord has come very near, and the church has been greatly revived. We had a good attendance after the first week, and good attention has been given to the word spoken. As a result of these services, four souls were buried yesterday in baptism.

This is a city of forty thousand inhabitants. Quite an interest has been awakened, and it seems that now is the time to labor for the people here. The brethren and sisters have been doing active missionary work, and holding cottage meetings at night after working hard all day.

The church here had almost given up the idea of having a church-school, but have now decided to have a school, and have engaged a teacher. We believe there are better days for the Muncie church. A little later we hope to hold another series of meetings here. May the Lord add his blessing to the Muncie church. U. S. ANDERSON.
