ONTARIO

By J. Fulton

During the first part of the winter, we spent the greater part of the time in the T. and M. work and in visiting the scattered brethren. We have thus far obtained over 100 subscribers for our periodicals; sold 350 Annuals, and books to the value of about $35.

Jan. 13 commenced meetings near London. Had the best interest we have had since coming to Ontario. One hundred were out the first evening. At our fourth meeting objections were raised against occupying the school-house any longer for our meetings. The respectable part of the community worked hard for us, and when they found we were to be turned out, they closed the house against all. I held a few meetings in a private house, but being at one side of the district, but few attended. One family of eight accepted the truth. Their position in society is such, that, if they prove faithful, they will be a great help to the cause.

I am now on my way to Kerwood, where I intend commencing meetings this evening. Prejudice is slowly giving way, and we look for the cause to triumph here as well as in other fields. J. FULTON.
