Dartmouth.—We are having very interesting meetings in this place. Quite a number have commenced to serve the Lord in good earnest, we trust. The meeting last Sabbath was one of the best we have had. One more requested prayers, expressing a desire to be a Christian. Our meetings are well attended, notwithstanding the muddy roads. Pray for us.

Athol Center.—Our meetings here have closed. We leave fourteen keeping the Sabbath. Ten embraced it since we came. The Sabbath-school numbers about twenty. They have a small hall, where they will hold regular meetings and Sabbath-school each week.

Last Sunday P. M. another sermon was preached against the Sabbath by Dr. Hemenway, first-day Adventist. The night before, we secured the “Town Hall,” so at the close of his sermon I announced a review of it on Tuesday eve at the above place. About three hundred were present to hear the review, and they paid the best of attention for ninety minutes.

At the close of the meeting I sold quite a number of tracts and books. One gentleman who is friendly gave me a very practical shaking of the hand, leaving in my palm a silver dollar, with the remark, “That is for this sermon; can’t you have it printed?” We hope before long to see him take a firm stand for the truth.

A week or two ago some one published an objection against the Sabbath, in the Athol Transcript. The writer signed himself A. C., Boston, Mass. We replied this week in the same paper, with a full column. This will at least call the attention of ten thousand readers to the Sabbath question in this county. It is due Bro. Crandall to say that he has done all in his power to make the meetings a success, and his efforts have not been in vain.
