Solon and Peninsula.—Wednesday, May 28, Bro. Underwood brought me to Solon. He spoke to a few in the evening. Thursday, we held meetings all day in a cheese factory. There are only four or five keeping the Sabbath here, but these are good souls. They have a Sabbath-school and regular meetings. There is considerable interest outside; but there is also bitter opposition. We have not found the like in any other part of Ohio.

Peninsula is about twelve miles from Solon. Two Seventh-day Baptist sisters lived here, and so opened the way for Brn. Gates and Underwood to present the truth. But it is a rough place, and very few were interested. The husband of one of the sisters was converted, and I had the privilege of baptizing him on Sunday. An educated Christian lady has also embraced the truth. She has a sister who is a missionary in China. A lady friend from Michigan was with her while we were here. She is deeply interested in the truth, and we feel quite sure she will embrace it. They have a Sabbath-school. Probably the tent will be pitched between Solon and Peninsula, and so unite both companies.

Thus ended my work in this district. There are but few of our people in any one locality. It seems to be rather a difficult field of labor, for some reason; but those who do come out are good, intelligent, responsible people. D. M. CANRIGHT.

Leverings, June 2.—We have nearly canvassed the life and death question, and it is being well received. Yesterday it was somewhat rainy, yet the tent was well filled. We hope to see much good fruit from these meetings. A. O. BURRILL.
