Nov. 17, 1870, went to Highland Co. Spoke at night in the Methodist meeting-house, to a large congregation. Had a good hearing. Held two meetings in Kainesborough, but for want of a house, had to leave.

Dec. 2, went to visit the brethren at Allentown, Clark Co. Commenced meetings on Sabbath evening. Had a good congregation for that place. Held six meetings. Labored to set things in order. We hope there are some here who will go through. Bro. Moser is doing all that he can for the cause here.

Commenced meetings at Bowersville on Sabbath evening, Dec. 10. Continued until the 18th. Held seventeen meetings. Confessions were made, and we were enabled to draw near to the Lord. A good work was done for the church here. Such a work is needed in all the churches. This church has been occupying a higher standpoint than ever before, since our organization. Baptized one during this meeting.

Jan. 12, went north to join Bro. St. John in his meeting at Whartonsburgh, Wyandott Co. Assisted him some, and baptized one. The Lord is good, and I will try to praise his holy name, and do his holy will, that I may be ready to meet him at his coming.
