WE are glad to be able to report a growing interest on the part of the several churches in Dist. No. 9. Three months ago we held our first quarterly meeting, and we are informed that it is the only meeting of this character that has been held in this district for the past three years. Only three churches in the district were represented at this meeting.

The meeting for April 13, 14 was held at Vassar, according to appointment, with a good representation from each church in the district. Bro. R. J. Lawrence was present. He spoke three times, and was a source of strength in all our deliberations. His remarks were timely and much appreciated by the brethren and sisters. Especially was this true Sunday evening. The Spirit of the Lord rested down upon Bro. Lawrence, and accompanied the word spoken. One dear brother went forward in baptism, and upon the whole, it was a meeting long to be remembered.

We hope the dear brethren and sisters will put forth every effort in their power this present quarter to bring all the tithes into the store-house and prove the Lord. May God give us faith to take him at his word.

Wm. OSTRANDER, Director.

WE have had two opposition discourses, one on the immortality question and one on the Sabbath question. These have only opened the eyes of those that were investigating. We have a class of twenty-five members. Organized S. S. last Sunday, to the amount of $100. The little company here seem to be workers. They realize the importance of laying aside their idols. There is a good work begun in this county.
