Twin Lakes.

I have now been at Twin Lakes almost three weeks, and have lectured nearly every evening and sometimes twice in the day.

Four have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and others are convinced of the truth and will probably obey it. One Irish Catholic has embraced the truth. Her husband was a drinking man, but now both rejoice in Christ and in the truth. The leading grocer promises to keep the Sabbath and shut up his store on that day. A few Sabbath-keepers were living here before, and we shall have a class of about eighteen members. I have been trying to induce them to take hold of the health reform, and some are doing so. Some are ready for baptism. I have sold books and tracts in almost all the houses, and obtained three subscribers for the INSTRUCTOR.

I am going out to a settlement five miles from here, to hold meetings during the week.

Deerfield, Lenawee Co., Feb. 7.

We are now holding an interesting series of meetings in the Logan school-house, near Deerfield. Our congregations number from one hundred to one hundred and fifty. This is the second week, and the interest is on the increase. So far, we have been able to answer all inquiries, and the prospects are fair for good results.

We also have a good interest at Ottawa Lake, where we have a Sunday appointment, and shall go when our meetings close here. Two have taken a firm stand for the Sabbath there. We have taken sixteen subscriptions for our periodicals and sold several books.
