East Norwalk.—I held a meeting with the Norwalk church at East Norwalk, last Sabbath, April 19. Five were baptized, and ten united with the Norwalk church, all of whom have commenced to keep the Sabbath during the past winter. Three or four others are keeping the Sabbath, and we hope they will fully unite with us soon. The meeting closed with a blessed communion season. H. A. ST. JOHN.

Belleville, April 21.—Our meetings at this place have continued for five weeks. At least a dozen have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and seven have been added to the church. Bro. S. Lafferty has been appointed leader. The Sabbath-school has been greatly improved, and nearly doubled.

Brn. Mann and Richards, who are laboring three miles from here in the country, are having an excellent interest, and the probability is that there will be quite an accession to this church from that place. On the whole, we feel that the Lord has greatly blessed this people, and that this will become a strong church. We go from here to Corsica, to spend next Sabbath and Sunday. Bro. J. W. Heath, from Alabama, has been with me, and has assisted in these meetings. A. O. BURRILL.

Paulding Center, April 22.—I commenced meetings April 6, at a place three miles west of Paulding Center in the neighborhood of Bro. I. J. Brown, where Bro. Wm. Cottrell held meetings about five years ago. I sold books to the value of $1.50. Nine signed the covenant. The attendance was good from the beginning. Bro. Crouse spoke two evenings, and Sr. Crouse one evening; this helped us much. Bro. I. J. Brown was good help in our meetings; he wishes to give his whole time to the work of God. I feel to praise God for what he has done for me in this meeting. A. L. HUSSEY.
