ALABAMA

By A. O. Burrill

Atalla, Aug. 13.
THE work here is progressing. We have been here six weeks, yet our congregations are still good. Saturday evening forty came forward for prayers, and, as many more on Sunday morning.
We have been obliged to move to another part of the town. Shall be ready for meetings to-night. The citizens helped move and pitch the tent, and provided for our wants in every way possible. We have good congregations on the Sabbath, and a goodly number have commenced its observance. We are talking of building a church, and find the people willing to help.
Atalla is on the great thoroughfare from Georgia to Alabama, and emigrants call to see what we are doing. This gives us an opportunity to sell them tracts, pamphlets, and sometimes books. If we cannot sell to them, we give them back numbers of the SIGNS, REVIEW, INSTRUCTOR, and REFORMER. And here let me express my gratitude to the many that have sent us publications. We have a fine assortment on hand.
Our tent master has recovered his health, and, although the heat is intense, we are all well. Surely the Lord does remember us in much mercy, and to him be all the praise for the good work here.
A. O. BURRILL.
