Report of Labor.

By R. F. Cottrell

In my last report I mentioned beginning a series of meetings in Farmersville, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y. There were some encouraging features there, but I was obliged to leave the field for the present, for want of a place to occupy continuously for meetings. The two meeting-houses in the village were both undergoing thorough repairs, so that both the Baptists and Methodists had no place for their meetings at present but the school-house. I had the privilege of the school-house when not occupied for other meetings, religious, political, or literary, but the vacant evenings were few; therefore, after attending the T. and M. Society's meeting at East Otto, I returned to Ridgeway, N. Y. Here I have found an opening, and begun a series of lectures at Oak Orchard under circumstances as favorable, and with as good an interest, as could reasonably be expected. Have had four meetings, and intend to continue, if the interest holds good, till the present truth is fully presented. May God give success. R. F. COTTRELL.
