Nashville, April 13.

Since my last report, I have preached near Eaton’s Creek P. O. most of the time. There are two meeting-houses here free for all denominations, and though it has been the busiest time of the year, there has been a good attendance. All but three families have acknowledged the truth, and eight have begun the observance of the Sabbath. One preacher will not speak to me; and two others have announced reviews; but they have put the time so far off that I would be likely to be gone. Two men offered to board us until their appointments if we would stay. Many are anxiously waiting for the time to roll round. I am now preaching two miles away, except on the Sabbath, when I return here and meet with those who rest upon it.

Men who have not attended church for years, have been regular attendants at these meetings, and one of the hard men of the place has become a Christian. I feel greatly the need of help from above. Pray for the cause here.

ORLANDO SOULE.

Mt. Gilead, April 8.

Our quarterly meeting at this place was held at the regular time, April 6 and 7. During the meeting I spoke three times, besides holding social meetings. The church received one member. We celebrated the ordinances. The Sabbath-school was re-organized. All present renewed their vows and confessed their wrongs, and left the meeting with brighter prospects for the future.

I think the outside interest is better than it has been, but we have some sore trials yet. P. D. MOYERS.
