Debello.—Feb. 15 and 16 I spent with the company at Debello, which were brought out last summer under the labors of Bro. O. A. Johnson. There are about forty keeping the Sabbath in the vicinity. On first-day, the 16th, a church of twenty-nine members was organized. Officers were chosen, and the elder and deacon were ordained. They are preparing to build a meeting-house. H. W. DECKER.

Lodi, Columbia Co., Feb. 25.—Jan. 1, I commenced a series of meetings in the Green Ackerman school-house, one mile from Poynette village, and about eight miles from Leed's Center. Five or six took a firm stand for the third angel's message.

Jan. 28, we commenced meetings in Poynette village, in Mr. Wood's hall, which he kindly permitted us to use free of charge. We continued the meetings four weeks. The attendance and interest were good; but the opposition from the churches was strong. A few have commenced keeping the Sabbath. These here and in Bro. Ackerman's neighborhood will make a company of ten or twelve Sabbath-keepers. They hold Sabbath meetings. N. M. JORDON.

Kickapoo, Feb. 21.—I entered upon the duties of my appointment, Jan. 7, 1879, by going to Baraboo, and starting a singing class of about twenty. Gave sixteen lessons. My stay with our people there was pleasant, and the class made good progress.

I then came to Kickapoo, and started a class of over forty. The interest is great, and the school is advancing finely. We expect to stay here about four weeks yet. Have distributed twenty-four copies of the Song Anchor among the members of this class. E. M. CRANDALL.
