Paulding, March 10.—I commenced meetings here Feb. 14. Five have signed the covenant since I came, making twenty in all. Three others are observing the Sabbath, and intend to sign the covenant. All but one are heads of families.

I have made my home with Bro. W. F. Crouse, who is an old Sabbath-keeper, and by his Christian example has gained many friends for the truth. He and Sister Crouse spoke to the people two evenings with good results. Bro. Hussey has been helping me some. Quite a number are interested, and on the point of decision; among the number is a Methodist preacher.

We have organized regular meetings with Bro. Crouse as leader. The average attendance at the Sabbath-school for three weeks has been twenty-eight. I expect to stay here as long as the interest demands, but will meet the brethren at Uniopolis and Dunkirk as soon as possible. Bro. Hussey is holding meetings three miles from here. Some are interested.
