Daviess Co., Missouri.

By C. H. Chaffee

AFTER Conference I visited my brother who is keeping the Sabbath in Labette Co., Kan. Spoke twice to the people there; but the attendance was small, on account of sickness. I returned home Sept. 22, and spent a few days there.
Oct. 1, I commenced a course of lectures at Pleasant Hill, Mo. The meetings have been hindered some by meetings of the grangers and good templars, and a few rainy evenings, but I have given twenty-nine discourses, and eleven have decided to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Eld. Martindale (Methodist presiding elder) preached against us on the Sabbath question, taking the Sunday-seventh-day position. I had freedom in reviewing the discourse. At the close, a call was made for any that would keep all the commandments of God to come forward, when five of the most substantial citizens in the community responded. Several more are interested, and may yet decide in favor of the truth. I am of good courage, and my health is good, for which I praise the Lord. I shall still strive to do the Master's business, looking to him for grace. I desire the prayers of God's people.
