Wrightstown, Otter Tail Co., Feb. 17.—We have been laboring with the Wrightstown church for the past three weeks. The outside interest has been good. Six have taken hold of the Sabbath, and the church has been much strengthened and encouraged. When we came, regular Sabbath meetings had been discontinued, as well as prayer-meetings and Sabbath-school. Besides this, but one family in the whole church took any of our papers. Regular prayer and Sabbath meetings have now been appointed, a club of the Instructor has been ordered, and a Sabbath-school will be organized. N. BATTIN. A. MEAD.

Maple Plain, Feb. 14.—We held our first Sabbath meeting last Sabbath. Six signed the covenant, and at least one more is keeping the Sabbath. Have held one meeting three miles from here, with a good attendance. To-night we go to a school-house a mile beyond. There is some interest there, and we hope for more; but prejudice is very strong. We hope to be remembered by the praying ones, that the Lord may give us humility and patience, and may bring light to those who are in darkness, through our labors. D. P. CURTIS. W. WALKER.

Birchdale, Todd Co.—Five have decided that the seventh day is the Sabbath. A United Brethren preacher came here and engaged the school-house I am using; but on being informed that I intended to go to the next neighborhood, where he has a church of forty-two members, he left me in possession of the field.
