Westphalia.

We commenced meetings at this place, Feb. 8. At first we had twelve hearers, but our congregations increased to seventy and averaged about thirty. There are good, substantial people here, but many of them are nonprofessors. The inhabitants of the surrounding country are mostly German Catholics. There is no other society in the neighborhood.
About fourteen have consented to sign the covenant, and there are two here who were keeping the Sabbath, making, in all, sixteen to keep up meetings. Several others are convinced on the Sabbath, who, we hope, will soon join the number.
The following item appeared in the Clinton Independent, the county paper, of Feb. 28:—
“Feb. 23.—The S. D. Adventists are doing a noble work at the Sanford school-house, Westphalia. Their sermons are much admired by the people of that vicinity.”
We have given, in all, about thirty-seven discourses, closing March 10.
