Star City, March 15.—The Lord has wrought here with power. Entire families have embraced the truth; and as I visit from house to house, heads of families, without solicitation, inform me of their fixed determination to keep the Sabbath. The Spirit of God has moved mightily upon the hearts of sinners, and men who never bowed in prayer humbly unite in petitions to God for pardon. Tears of contrition pour from the eyes of the hardest-hearted, and night after night the house of worship is filled to repletion with deeply interested listeners. This is God’s work, and the power of the truth. Pray for the work here. A. W. BARTLETT.

Coal City, Owen Co.—Have been holding meetings here during the past three weeks. The turn out is still good, ranging from one hundred to three hundred. Have just finished giving the Sabbath question. Held our first Sabbath meeting last seventh-day. Fully one hundred were present. Have not tested them on the Sabbath question as yet, but expect to do so soon. Have in some $19 worth of books. Quite a number seem deeply interested, and we hope some will take a decided stand to obey.

Last November Bro. Nelson and wife, of the Patricksburg church, moved here. They came armed with seven thousand pages of reading matter furnished by the local T. and M. society at Patricksburg. With these tracts they furnish nearly every family in the village, and the interest in our meetings is the outgrowth. S. H. LANE.
