Illinois.

It has been sometime since I have reported through the REVIEW; but as I have labored in connection with Bro. Colcord, my labors have mostly been reported by him. After our general meeting in Greenup, I spent several weeks in recruiting my health. From Nov. 7 to 15, spent in connection with Bro. C. holding meetings at Arthur and Lovington. At Arthur three or four are keeping the Sabbath. Others, for whom we hope, are reading our periodicals with much interest. At Lovington the brethren are making some advancement. Quite a number are quitting their tobacco, tea, and coffee. Several have been baptized, and others expect to go forward soon.

Their new church, which in several respects is the neatest church building in the place, is finished ready for plastering.

Nov. 20, commenced meetings in this place in the Christian church. Have been here eleven days, and have spoken thirteen times. Congregations thus far are not very large, owing perhaps to bad weather and much prejudice. Have had no congregations to exceed perhaps 150, yet those who do come are regular in their attendance, and manifest a deep interest. If the Lord will help I hope for some success here.
