Sheridan, April 15.—The interest has gradually increased during the nearly seven weeks that I have been here, and a good work has been done. Twenty-two have decided to serve God and keep his commandments, most of whom were non-professors. Several have erected the family altar. Eleven have united with the church, and others intend to do so. The older members of the church, who were somewhat on the background, have most of them come up nobly to the work of the Lord, and express themselves much benefited by the meetings. ORLANDO SOULE.

Dist. No. 14.—The quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 14 was held at Potterville, according to appointment. Delegations were present from nearly all the churches in the district. Bro. W. C. White and Wm. Potter, from Battle Creek, were with us. Two discourses were given. The work of the tract society and Sabbath-school was quite fully canvassed. The interest increased from the beginning, and although a business session lasting five hours was held on Sunday, it was with difficulty that we could close the meeting. The brethren and sisters went to their homes encouraged to renew the conflict, and determined to be still better prepared to report at the next quarterly meeting. J. F. CARMAN, Director.
