CALAIS.—The tent workers at this place report as follows: “An educated and respectable class of people have attended our meetings regularly, and five strong, staunch, and sturdy souls accepted the truth. As we look over the congregation from evening to evening, we see many others whose constant attendance and good attention reveal their deep interest. These show their good will and cordiality in many ways. We find but little opposition; but, as usual, there is the undercurrent of the dragonic spirit. Nine dollars and forty cents has been taken in contributions thus far. We trust that every child of God is making the success of this effort his special prayer.”

BLAINE.—After the Cliff Island meeting, I returned to Blaine, and was then called by a telegram to visit the sick. After returning, I went to Reynolds, and then back to Blaine. Have been holding meetings, and distributing tracts, and calling on families in the northeastern part of Mars Hill. Some are reading, and say they are going to know for themselves if these things are so. I find some convinced, and expect them to obey. Pray for us and the work here. J. B. GOODRICH.

Speaking of the efforts being made in Maine for the relief of the Christiania publishing house, one librarian writes: “I gave the reading to one poor man in our neighborhood who has not attended church, for the lack of suitable clothing. While a few of our people were at our house, he came in, bringing $1.18, saying it was all he and his wife had. I tell you, it touched our hearts. Although it was secretly given to one of our number, yet as soon as he started home, all knew what he had done. One good brother called him back, and gave him a nice coat and vest.”
