PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.

By Abram C. Bourdeau

On returning to this province, I held my first meeting, Oct. 26, in a school-house in West Bolton, P. Q. The good Spirit of God was present. The next week, myself and wife visited Sabbath-keepers in Glen Sutton, and Potton, P. Q. Three families that were not paying s. b. agreed to pay about fifty dollars per year.

We also visited several families of our relatives, and were glad to see them endeavoring to live out the truth. Since we embraced the Sabbath twenty-two years ago, it has been our privilege to see nearly threescore of our friends and their families unite with us in keeping the commandments. Some of our loved ones have been laid away in the grave, there to rest till the Lifegiver shall appear, and others have lately gone to distant lands.

Nov. 15 to 20, I held several meetings with the church in Barford, P. Q., and labored from house to house in that vicinity. The friends there are punctual in attending meetings, have a prosperous Bible-class and Sabbath-school, and are prompt in paying their s. b. pledges.

We are now trying to encourage the brethren to prepare to build a house of worship in South Stukely, P. Q.
