ILLINOIS

By D. T. Bourdeau

Among the French.—Feb. 1 and 2, Mrs. B. and myself attended Bro. G. W. Colcord’s meetings in Kankakee for the Americans and French. These meetings were profitable. A V. M. society was organized.

Last Sabbath we were at St. Anne, and enjoyed a sweet season in attending to the ordinances. Several Americans were present. Two were received as candidates for baptism. Here also a V. M. society was organized.

I have held two interesting meetings at Papineau, near St. Anne, where is a family of French Sabbath-keepers. Am now giving a short course of lectures among Americans and French at Pitwood, eleven miles from St. Anne. The interest is good. We look for at least a good reinforcement for the St. Anne church, that have been diligent in doing missionary work here. We hold our first Sabbath meeting next Sabbath.

I am strengthened and encouraged while taking physical exercise.

For the next two weeks my address will be St. Anne, Ill. D. T. Bourdeau.
