Leon.

The general meeting at Leon, Feb. 1 to 3, was well attended. Some came seventy miles, with teams. The people listened eagerly to the stirring truths and words of instruction delivered by Bro. Haskell. All the items of business acted upon at the regular quarterly meeting at Oakland were explained, and received the sanction of those present. A vigilant missionary society was organized, composed chiefly of sisters. Sister Mary Snow was chosen president, and sister Olive Hawley secretary and treasurer.

The church entered heartily into the work of clubbing for the SIGNS on the installment plan, and monthly pledges were made sufficient to pay for fifty copies of the SIGNS. These are to be distributed according to the plan recommended in the minutes of the Oakland meeting.

This meeting was a great blessing to the cause in this part of the State. The outside attendance was good. Four commenced to keep the Sabbath. They had become convinced of the truth at Bro. Snow’s meetings, fourteen miles from Leon.

Little Falls, Feb. 13.

I gave fifteen lectures at this place. Seven persons confessed the truth, four of whom attended the general meeting, at Leon and publicly took a stand. Besides

these, two backsliders were reclaimed, and one who had kept the Sabbath for years promised to renounce his tobacco.
