NEW YORK.

Pierrepont, May 5.

THE interest here continues good. When we came here, six were keeping the Sabbath; fourteen more are now keeping it, making twenty in all, and others are on the point of deciding. It is a pleasure to hear strong men and women, heads of families testify that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, and that henceforth they mean to keep it. They do one thing which it is all-important for young converts to do, they take hold in all our meetings and speak and pray. They have also erected the family altar. Bro. Edward Plum, one of the number above-mentioned, who formerly preached for the Methodists, is good help in these meetings.

WE administered the rite of baptism to four persons here last week, and organized a church of fourteen members. Quite a number of others (who were brought out at the tent-meeting last summer, and are members of the class) would have joined the rest in church fellowship at the same time had they been entirely free from the use of tobacco and from other objectionable habits. I trust they will soon be able to put away all these things and unite with us in full fellowship and communion.
