I AM still keeping up my meetings. Some are keeping the Sabbath, and others are interested.

J. B. FRISBIE.

Report of V. M. Society.

At a meeting held at our house of worship in Armada, Jan. 1, 1877, a Vigilant Missionary Society was organized with ten members. Since that time we have held our meetings regularly every Sunday but one, then we were in Memphis to attend the quarterly meeting of the T. and M. Society. During this time our numbers have steadily increased until we now number twenty-four. We have sent out letters and papers to about seventy persons. We receive twenty-one copies of the SIGNS every week, and have given away all of them, amounting in all to nearly three hundred since we began our work.

The Lord has a work for his people to perform, and all who are not fitted to be preachers can here find an opening wherein they can labor and assist in sowing the good seed. We rejoice that we can, even in this manner, assist in preparing the sheaves for the great harvest day. With the help of the Lord we will continue on in the work until all shall have been accomplished; then, triumphant we will go to enjoy the reward of the faithful ones. We desire the prayers of God’s servants, that we may be fully consecrated to the work.
