ONTARIO

Chatham, Feb. 3.—I came to this place Jan. 8. One was keeping the Sabbath and others were interested as the result of Bro. Black's missionary labors. I have held eighteen meetings. Ten are keeping the Sabbath, many others are convinced, and some are preparing to obey. In this city of 9000 inhabitants, we believe the Lord has many people. Thus far in our work he has seemed very near. Bro. Black assists in meetings and in visiting. We have sold books to the value of $15.75.

I would be glad to have a call from any of the brethren who are passing through on the G. W. R. R. My address, until further notice, will be Chatham, Ontario. J. FULTON.

Belleville, Feb. 1.—During the past three months I have been canvassing in Ontario. This is a hard field, but prejudice seems to be giving way. I have obtained one hundred and twenty-five subscribers for our periodicals; and in subscriptions and for book sales have received $145. Many are becoming interested in the truth, and some have expressed themselves satisfied with our position on the Sabbath question. Some have subscribed for Good Health and the Signs too. We believe that good will result. I am now canvassing in the city of Belleville, a very central place, with good success. We have learned by experience that a judicious circulation of our reading matter is necessary in British territory before attempting to hold meetings, as people are often prejudiced against anything coming from the States without knowing what they are prejudiced against; and they are at first slow to believe that our views come from the Bible.
