CHIRENO.—In June I came to the Sand Hill district, six miles from Chireno, a small town in the eastern part of the State. There are about four hundred persons in this colored settlement. At the close of an interesting series of meetings eleven persons took their stand for the truth of God. Before they were fully established and organized, I was called away, and could not return for three months. Only five remained faithful, and work once broken in this way is hard to repair.

I held meetings in the schoolhouse. At first many were afraid to attend, and finding that cottage meetings would be received more kindly, I announced three. The attendance was good. The work has gone hard, but I am glad to report that two others have embraced the message, and our Sabbath-school has a membership of fourteen. Although prejudice is strong, the Lord is working for us, and I expect to remain here until we have a strong company established. Pray for us and our work.
