Chester, N. Y.

By S. B. Whitney

SINCE my last writing, have continued my labors in the neighborhood where I was then engaged; and, as the result, twelve have expressed their decision to keep the Sabbath; and I hope for more.

The interest kept up till the close, and, at our meeting last Sabbath, we had fully the number of the average attendance upon the lectures, and deep feeling was manifested on the part of the unconverted.

First-day evening, an expression was taken, when a goodly number arose in favor of the Sabbath, and not one for Sunday.

Calls for labor are coming in from different directions. A Baptist minister in an adjoining town sent me an invitation to come and preach to his people. I visited him last Monday; was made welcome, and had a very interesting visit; gave him some books, and received from him a voluntary invitation to give a course of lectures in a new church they are just building, immediately after its dedication, which is expected to be about the middle of June.

The call for laborers and organization of Missionary and Tract Societies has come none too soon, and may God speed the work. Amen.
