Report of Labor.—I went to Sumner county about the middle of December, and labored two weeks near Caldwell. This is a new field of labor; but very little has been done in the missionary work. I tried to encourage the few brethren who have moved there. They subscribed for four copies of the Signs and two of the Review, and are going to keep up meetings. Some of their neighbors are much interested.

I was with the Canola church on first-day. All who were present pledged the tithe for 1879; they also pledged for the Dime Tabernacle.

Attended the quarterly meeting at Bloomfield, Elk Co., Jan. 4, 5. The weather was extremely cold, and only a few were out to the meetings.

Jan. 9, I went to Chautauqua county, and held meetings near Peru till Feb. 2. Nearly all who attended the meetings regularly acknowledge the truth; but only four or five had the courage to practice it. These, with the few Sabbath-keepers who lived there, will keep up regular meetings, also Sabbath-school. A leader was appointed.

I have great reason to thank God for returning health; I desire to spend it in the Master's service. I expect to commence meetings near Emporia, Lyon Co., next week, which will be my address for the present.

Feb. 6. CHAS. F. STEVENS.

Elivon, Jan. 30.—The Lord is blessing the work at Elivon. We had a good meeting last Sabbath, and five were baptized by Bro. Barton.

While helping here, I have been lecturing in an adjoining school-house. A few are interested and acknowledge that we have the truth, but have not yet committed themselves.

The little company at Bennington, Ottawa Co., is doing well. One more has signed the covenant.
