At Grey Eagle, Minn., twenty souls have accepted the truth, as the result of meetings conducted by J. O. Peet and Benjamin Francis. Some others have begun the observance of the Bible Sabbath.

Elders Meyer and H. Schultz, who have been laboring at Woollam, Mo., report that the work there is in a very encouraging state. A number have accepted the truth, and others are deeply interested. Elder J. M. Rees reports that five persons are awaiting baptism at Rolla.

Cottage meetings are being conducted in the vicinity of Cedar Lake, Mich. A meeting held at the Dopp schoolhouse, February 16, by appointment which had been made by some of the workers at Cedar Lake Academy, resulted in bringing several to signify their acceptance of the truth. Brother M. S. Burnham reports a good interest at Otsego, where he has been distributing literature.

Four adults and four children have been added recently to the company at Ingersoll, Ontario. One family near Muskoka has begun the observance of the Sabbath, as the result of missionary activity on the part of Sabbath-keepers in that community. The interest at Scotland, where Brethren William Simpson and W. A. Young are laboring, continues good. At the first Sabbath meeting thirty-nine were present, all but ten being adults. From Lindsay, the report is that a number of families are convinced of the truth, some of whom are expected to obey.

At the town of Perry, N. Y., meetings were begun in a private house, November 22, and continued through the winter, by J. B. Stow, assisted by his wife, and a part of the time by several lady canvassers. Visits were made from house to house, literature was distributed, some subscriptions for periodicals were obtained, and forty-five dollars' worth of books was sold. The work was conducted against much prejudice and opposition. One person, however, has accepted the truth, and several who had been partial believers were led fully into the light, so that there are five who are now holding up the standard of truth in that place.
