INDIANA

By J. M. Rees

Labor among the Churches.—Since last season, my health has been so poor that I could labor but little; but I begin to feel that I would like to do something for the Master.

March 22, 23, I was with the Bunker Hill church. This church has passed through some sore trials, but I believe there are better days in store for them.

March 24, I was at Peru, looking after the scattered ones. Had a good meeting with them. Only a few are left here, as some have died, some moved away, and some given up the truth. I left them much encouraged.

March 26, 27, I was with the church at Peoria. Eight commenced to keep the Sabbath when Bro. Sharp and myself were here with the tent almost two years ago. They are all doing all they can to advance the truth. The outside interest was good.

March 29, I came to Somerset, but found it necessary to postpone for a short time the series of meetings I had intended to hold here. Seven good souls are keeping the Sabbath. There is quite an interest to hear. Obtained one subscriber for the Signs, and sold about one dollars’ worth of books.

March 31 and April 1, I spent with the church at Marion. The cause here is prospering. This church is building a meeting-house, which will be the means of bringing the truth more fully before the people.

I looked after the Sabbath-school interest at each place I visited, and all are doing well.
