St. Lawrence Co., N. Y.

At the quarterly meeting at Russell, Sept. 19 and 20, there was a good attendance. Two loads came from Fine. Father Deland, formerly a Baptist minister, now over eighty years of age, walked two miles before daylight Sabbath morning, and then rode over a rough road twelve miles to come with them. A few came from Pierpont, and all were much benefited by associating together in the love of the truth. At all these places there is opposition. But since the truth was first introduced, about two years since, by the faithful labors of Brn. Hall and Taylor, a goodly number have laid hold upon it and continue firm. The school-house at Pierpont where they were permitted to hold meetings for a while was closed against them the past summer, when they held meetings outside, and now they hold them in one a mile or two distant. Amid the opposition, there are honest inquirers after truth, and we think the faithful labors of his servants may still be blessed in new fields in this vicinity where they are calling for labor.
