Springfield, Wolf Lake, Ligonier, and Rochester.—Jan. 8 to 11, I labored at Springfield, Noble county, where Bro. J. S. Shrock was completing a series of meetings. The Lord blessed, and some have embraced the truth.

Jan. 12 to 16, I was at Wolf Lake and Ligonier. The outside interest at Wolf Lake is good. The attendance was large. At almost every quarterly meeting some are added to the church. Steps were taken toward the erection of a meeting-house. At Ligonier all the members present adopted the tithing system but three, and they pledged $67 for the year. A club of thirty-one copies was raised for the Signs. Some very interesting letters received by the V. M. society were read at this meeting. Souls are rejoicing in the truth through their labor. The report of labor for the last quarter was large.

The State T. and M. quarterly meeting at Rochester, Jan. 17 to 20, was largely attended. On Sabbath and first-day our house of worship was well filled. As we saw nearly one hundred rejoicing in the truth, we could but praise the Lord for the progress of his cause in the north-western part of the State during the past three years.

The T. and M. quarterly report for the State was encouraging. Enough money has been raised during the quarter to pay over one-half of our State debt at the publishing houses. This is as it should be, and we hope by another quarter to get out of debt, and thus have our State library paid for, and some means on hand. Let all our T. and M. members work to that point.

First-day, after the business meeting, we had a general class, or school, for instruction in T. and M. work, business letters, and reports. Much interest was manifested. All felt that the occasion was very profitable.

The past few days I have been laboring at New London. I am holding a class, or school, in the interest of the T. and M. work. All seem anxious to learn and to act.
