Fremont, April 14.

I find the company at Fremont still rejoicing in the present truth. I have given nine discourses to good audiences, and found all our old friends anxious to hear. Three more good souls have signed the covenant. A leader has been chosen, and Sabbath meetings and Bible-class arranged for. We still have the free use of the Baptist church. We hope for other good souls soon. Many are giving up their idols, such as tobacco, tea, and coffee. May the Lord bless these dear ones and lead them into all truth. L. McCoy.

Bluff Creek Chapel, April 19.

No additions to the number of Sabbath-keepers have been made since my return. A few dear souls are deeply interested, and hungry for reading matter, which has been furnished. Closed meetings for the present, as the farmers, who are very busy with their spring work, are too tired when night comes to attend. They kindly invited me to return, and promised me the use of the house. I shall spend some days visiting from house to house among those with whom I have labored in the past. Pray for this work. GEORGE. B. STARR.
