New York.

By S. B. Whitney

FOLLOWING the meetings mentioned in my last report, I spent three Sabbaths with the church in Keene, and attending to necessary duties at home. This church has been passing through some severe trials, resulting in one or two sad cases of apostasy; but I think they will work for good to those who are left.

From Jan. 4-16, spent my time in N. Elba, Bloomingdale, and Vermontville. At these places, found the friends firm and growing, though one had been led away at Vermontville.

The 20th, had a sweet and profitable season with the church in Keene, at their quarterly meeting. Returned to this place the 25th. The majority are very firm and decided, and are making progress. Some are already adopting the principles of the health reform, and are ready to adopt the plan of Systematic Benevolence.

Am now holding meetings six miles from North Creek with good interest, though the attendance is small, as the neighborhood is scattered. Have spoken ten times, with excellent freedom.
