York Creek.

I was called to attend the funeral of Sister R. E. Devinnie near Golden Spring. After services we repaired to the water's side, and celebrated the ordinance of baptism. The next day we held a meeting. All seemed to have a mind to work, and to come up to their high calling. Two more were buried in baptism.

The meetings at York Creek closed the following Wednesday. The brethren here and at Decatur cheerfully pledged themselves to lay aside a tithe of their increase for the service of the Lord.

I have spent the past few days with the Fremont church. The family of Bro. Anderson is much afflicted. His three remaining children are sick; yet we pray and trust for their recovery. CHAS. L. BOYD.

SABBATH, Nov. 30, Bro. Nettleton spent with the company at Halifax, and reports good meetings.

Nov. 29, 30, I was with the church at Raevalley. Spoke three times. God's Spirit was present. A club of ten copies of the SIGNS was taken, and a Vigilant Missionary Society is to be formed to look after the distribution of them.

Halifax, Greeley Co., Nov. 25.

SINCE our first report from Halifax we have preached twenty-nine sermons, and closed our work here. The Lord was with us. Sixteen signed the covenant, and in the closing meetings many tears and precious testimonies proved plainly the presence of God, and the love of the truth in the hearts of those who, four weeks ago, were strangers to the message. Sold books and tracts to the amount of $14.73. Obtained five subscribers for our periodicals, and a club of ten copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES was cheerfully taken. We rejoice as we go to a new field of labor that the work here does not stop, but that every month forty copies of the SIGNS will still be preaching the message.

We shall try to meet with this company often during the winter.

Our address, for the present, is Albion, Boone county. GEO. B. STARR. DANIEL NETTLETON, JR.
