NILES HILL, N. Y.

By B. L. Whitney

The meeting at this place, Jan. 20 and 21, was well attended considering the bad condition of the roads. The Spirit of the Lord seemed to come into the meeting in some measure, and some hearty confessions were made. One brother, who has for a long time been wandering away from God, made a hearty confession of his past wrong course, and again took his stand to try to live out the truth and fill his place in the church. The brethren pledged themselves by rising vote to secure a full attendance when Bro. Canright shall visit them.

ULYSSES, PA.

Jan. 27 and 28, I met with this church, accompanied by most of the brethren from Niles Hill. I spoke six times besides holding prayer and conference meetings. Sr. S. A. Lindsley also spoke once with good acceptance.

The brethren of this district have not seemed to manifest as much interest in the missionary work for the past few months as formerly. We tried to call attention to the importance of this department of the work, and impress the necessity that each come up to bear his individual responsibility. We feel confident from the course pursued by some that they were in earnest in their resolutions to reform in this direction.

Unfortunately the 1000 almanacs shipped to this district Nov. 2 went to Geneseo instead of Genesee, and came to the district only the day before the meeting. Feeling the necessity of immediate action considering

the lateness of the season, the brethren promptly came forward, and became individually responsible for the whole number, and will see that they are immediately used. They also raised the funds to place a tract distributor in the depot of the Erie R. R. at Wellsville.

Forty-one subscriptions to BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE, fourteen for REFORMER, and several each for REVIEW and INSTRUCTOR, were taken at these meetings.
