By E. Brackett, Jr.

At the close of our good camp-meeting, I came to the southern part of this State where I spent the next Sabbath and Sunday with the brethren in Bowling Green. Held four meetings in the Baptist church with good attendance. On Monday, I left for Bro. Williams' in Green Co., by the way of Patricksburg, stopping with the brethren there a day or two visiting from house to house. Arrived at Bro. Williams' on Wednesday. This family have been keeping the Sabbath little over a year. They came out under Bro. Lane's labors at Pottersville. I found them still firm in the truth and very anxious for a course of lectures to be held in their school-house, so I made arrangements to commence the next night. The house was well filled and the interest seemed to be good which has continued to increase during the meetings. The house not being large enough to hold them, they were obliged to stand at the door and windows. Was joined by Bro. Lane a few days, which added to the interest of the meetings. Have been here between four and five weeks and have held thirty meetings. Since presenting the Sabbath question, have held three interesting meetings on the Sabbath. Eight have expressed a determination to obey the Lord by keeping his commandments. I still look for some more to obey. Nearly all are convinced of the truth, but will not accept it. The ministers are doing all they can to hold them back and keep them from attending my meetings by visiting their members and holding meetings near by. I now go about three miles from here to commence a course of lectures in the Gray school-house near Freedom. May the Lord go with me and assist in the presentation of his word is my prayer. E.
