ALABAMA

By A. O. Burrill

Atalla, Aug. 26.
It seems almost impossible for the people to break away from the net-work of tradition and superstition which has so long encircled them. We have been here two months. The desire to hear is as great as ever, all are kind to us, yet only twelve have signed the covenant; a few more are keeping the Sabbath. Nearly enough has been subscribed to build a plain, well-finished meeting-house, and we hope to see it completed before January.
Our tent master has the typhoid fever. This will make it necessary for us to remain here some time. The weather continues warm. The yellow fever has appeared both north and south of us, but has not manifested itself in Atalla. We are laboring each day to the extent of our strength.
Pray for us, brethren, the battle goes hard.
A. O. BURRILL.
