West Sumner, Oxford Co., April 7.—March 15, 16, I held meetings at East Fryeburg, and organized a church. Our meetings were very well attended, and strict attention was paid to the word spoken. We expect to see additions to their numbers, if all that have signed the covenant are faithful. Our brethren here are very much scattered, yet they sustain their Sabbath meetings.

The 22d and 23d I met with the church at Milton, and ordained an elder and a deacon. The church raised $4.00 to buy a church library. Bro. Robins, who has been reading the Signs for nearly two years, came to this meeting, and requested me to hold a meeting in his place, five miles from Milton. We held our first meeting March 24, and have now given fifteen discourses. Bro. R. and his family, together with others, making fifteen or more, have decided to keep the Sabbath, and the interest is still increasing. Last evening about twenty requested prayers. I remain here over another Sunday. Pray for us. J. B. GOODRICH.

Aroostook Co.—Met with the church at Linneus at the time of their quarterly meeting, Sabbath, April 5. It was one of the best seasons we have ever enjoyed with them. Old differences have been put away, and perfect union seems to prevail among them, for which we feel to praise the Lord. A. K. HERSUM,
