Albion, Boone Co.

We commenced meetings at Albion, Dec. 1. The interest is good, and the attendance the largest we have had this winter. God is giving us liberty in preaching. We expect fruit. DANIEL NETTLETON, JR. Dec. 12. GEO. B. STARR.

RAVILLE, DEC. 7-9.—At these meetings a tract society was organized, and three were baptized and united with the church. All were encouraged.

ORD.—The meetings here, Dec. 14-16, resulted in the organization of a tract society, a Sabbath-school, and a church. The friends cheerfully pledged for the State T. and M. fund. Three were baptized, and the meetings closed with the celebration of the ordinances of the Lord’s house, at which service we gratefully acknowledge the presence of the Divine One. Bro. Spicer assisted in these meetings.

CEDAR VALLEY, DEC. 21-23.—In company with Bro. Nettleton, I held meetings at this place. A tract society was organized, and also a Sabbath-school. This company is young in the cause, yet a zeal to work for the Lord is manifest. CHAS. L. BOYD.

Golden Spring, Burt Co., Dec. 24.

I commenced meetings in the Thompson school-house near Golden Spring, Nov. 27. The interest has been good, and the average attendance about one hundred.

There was not much opposition until I reached the Sabbath question, when a class-leader of the United Brethren church tried to convince the people that Sunday is the Sabbath, but made quite a failure. Next a notice appeared in the county paper requesting some minister to come and discuss the question with me. In response to this call, two Methodist ministers came. Last Thursday evening, they spoke one hour each on the Sabbath question. Their arguments, ridicule and abuse, did not satisfy the people. I reviewed them the following evening, and had a full house. The Lord assisted, and some who were undecided before acknowledge that we have the truth. Six have commenced to keep the Sabbath. Jan. 3 to 5, three other ministers are to speak against the Sabbath. Brethren, pray that truth may prevail over error.

My address, for the present, is Golden Spring, Burt county, Neb. A. J. CUDNEY.

Unadilla, Dec. 17.

I am now holding meetings near Unadilla, Neb. Some interest is manifested, yet not so much as I would like to see. H. SHULYE.
