NEW ORLEANS is having some pleasant experiences of a missionary character. Sisters Shields and Cushman, who have been visiting cities and towns in their journey from California in the interest of the Watchman, are doing faithful work with that periodical in our Crescent City. Sisters Bishop and Kirby are in the city also, in the interest of the Watchman, and report that their work is of an encouraging character. Sisters Lackey and McDonald came to New Orleans about ten days ago in behalf of the work in India. Their plan is to sell the Bible Training School, published by Elder S. N. Haskell, and they have had some success in this worthy endeavor. Sister Richardson stopped a few days on her way to interior Mississippi, where she will engage in colporteur work. Sister Snyder also spent three or four days waiting for the sailing of the “Prince Arthur” for Cuba, where she will join her husband in the work in that field. Brother Howard Peebles, of College View, is now with us, awaiting the sailing of a vessel to Honduras, his new field of labor. We are glad to see these workers, and to assist all we can in the good work.

We are planning for an institute at Welsh, beginning March 1, and hope for much good as a result. The program for the meeting includes an educational and religious liberty convention, besides a regular canvassers’ institute.

We are having some experiences just now in the religious liberty work. Another effort in behalf of additional Sunday law enforcement is to be made in May before the legislature.
