Pleasant Grove, March 3.

THE Methodists commenced a meeting here last week, with the hope of counteracting our work, and recovering the members they had lost. Their minister preached upon the Sabbath last Thursday evening, making many assertions but proving nothing. Bro. Dimmick reviewed him last night at the hall. None of the converts are shaken in the least. Ten have united with the church here, and there are others who will probably come in. The lumber is mostly on the ground for the new church.

There are several places where they are anxiously waiting for help. We hope to commence in one of them as soon as the roads become passable.

I COMMENCED labor at the Maple Lake school-house, Feb. 17. The prejudice is strong among the professors, and they preach and practice the stay-at-home policy. There is a deep interest among the nonprofessors.
