Truro, Ill.

By C. H. Bliss

JAN. 1, I commenced meetings in a school-house in Truro, four and one-half miles west of Rochester, Knox Co., Ill., and continued them till the 12th, when bad weather, and a heavy snow-storm a few days after, made it necessary to postpone them for one week.

Jan. 20, I commenced again, and continued till Feb. 1. Held in all about twenty-two meetings in this neighborhood. The congregations were generally quite small; yet those persons that came were deeply interested. Twelve or thirteen testified that they would in the future obey all God's commandments. Only one of these persons ever made a profession before.

These, with those at Eugene and Rochester, will make a company of over twenty Sabbath-keepers in this vicinity. Regular Sabbath meetings will be established at one of these places. I obtained three subscribers for the REVIEW, and one for the Instructor. C. H. Bliss.
