Garden Grove.—Reports of meetings held by the little company at Garden Grove during the month of February, show progress. They are growing in grace, and are becoming more fully established in the truth. At a meeting held in January, each promised to read the Bible through during the year 1879.

Shelby Co., March 3.—I am now lecturing in two different places, both in this county. In one of these places there are seven Norwegian families, and in the other about ten Danish families that can attend our meetings and understand the Danish. So far, the interest is good. JOHN F. HANSON.

Prescott, March 3.—We have been here about three weeks. Our congregations were small at first; but they have increased until last evening we had a house full of interested hearers. We think a great deal of prejudice has been removed. Bro. Dugger, who was once a first-day Adventist, and afterward joined a seventh-day Adventist church known as the Church of God, is here, and has been helping us. He is a young man of considerable ability. A. W. H. MILLARD. A. CALDWELL.

Hampton, Hook’s Point, Dayton, and Fonda, March 5.—In company with Bro. Hart, I held meetings at Hampton and Hook’s Point. The brethren at Hook’s Point pledged the tithe.

I went alone to Dayton and Fonda. At Dayton the brethren are of good courage, and are coming up to the work in general. The church at Fonda voted to set apart the tenth, and some expressed a determination to pay up for the past. All the friends were grateful for help.

Bro. Hart is assisting Bro. Johnson at Hampton. Six there have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and others are deciding. J. T. MITCHELL.
