By J. S. HART

I commenced a course of lectures about eight miles south-west of Alden, at the Silverdale school-house. The meetings were well attended at first; but soon the most of the Methodists refused to come and used their influence to keep others away. Finally they commenced a protracted meeting. The school-house in the adjoining district was offered us. Here the interest is good, and is increasing.
We have held three Sabbath meetings, and they have been well attended. Nine have signed the covenant, one a deacon of the Baptist church. Others are convinced that we have the truth.
A man from Minnesota, with his wife, attended a few meetings, and decided that we have the truth and that they would keep God's holy law. They provided themselves with a good supply of tracts to carry to their friends. Have sold twelve dollars' worth of tracts and books.
The Lord has blessed our labors. To his name be all the praise. We ask the prayers of God's people, that his truth may triumph here. J. S. HART.
