Good News from the East.

A TELEGRAM received from Eld. Haskell, dated Wellsville, N. Y., Dec. 7, says: "Lancaster meeting closed Sunday. Best ever held in New England. Preaching evenings; Bible-readings during the day; after Bible-readings, praise service. Thanksgiving day twenty-eight gave themselves to God.
"Twelve thousand five hundred dollars raised for the school; twenty acres bought in the village. Missionary work double that of any previous year. Brethren encouraged and all harmonious. To God be the praise."
We respond with a hearty, Amen. The purchase of twenty acres of ground insures the carrying out of the original purpose in regard to the school. The location is favorable; it will be emphatically a manual-labor school; just what is wanted to train the young people to habits and avocations of usefulness. Success to the school in South Lancaster.
