BATON ROUGE.—Having closed our public services in Music Hall on February 20, we are now doing house-to-house work, holding Bible readings, selling literature, and visiting the poor and the sick wherever opportunity is offered. This seems to be the only practical way of reaching the people at Baton Rouge at the present. The attendance at the public services was small.

Several barrels of food and clothing have been sent us, some coming even from Minnesota, Colorado, and Illinois. Our work for the poor has given us the respect of the people. Committees of societies of other churches, who have been our worst theological enemies, have come to us and asked for co-operation in charity work. They see that our message has a practical as well as a theoretical side. Several doors are now being opened for Bible study, as a result of the influence of Christian Help work. We thank the brethren who sent us these donations. They will share with us in the fruit of the harvest. We could use many more such barrels to God's glory in this needy field. We could also use clean, late copies of our papers, especially Signs, Little Friend, and Life Boat, also tracts on the law and the Sabbath, or on temperance.
