Athol Center.—We began meetings here Jan. 18, and to date, Feb. 5, have held nineteen. Our audiences have averaged about 75, but the same ones attend nearly every time. Six have decided to keep the Sabbath, yet we have not fully canvassed the question. The consistent Christian course pursued by Bro. Crandall and family, who have lived here for some years, helps us much. It is not because they have argued the various points of our faith on every street corner, but because they have tried to represent correctly the truth we profess.

Athol is in Worcester county, and there are places all around here where the truth has never been preached, the South Lancaster church being the only church of S. D. Adventists in this county. A letter from the secretary of the V. M. society at South Lancaster reports a deep interest in the work of sending out the Signs. Encouraging letters are received. They now have a club of 275 copies, and yet their cry is, “more papers.” Are they rich? says one. Yes; see Jas. 2:5. Brethren, go ye and do likewise. D. A. ROBINSON.
