Eagle, Cass Co., May 23.—Our meetings here were blessed of the Lord. A church of twelve members was organized, eight of whom were baptized. All cheerfully pledged the tithe. One who was then struggling hard with the powers of darkness has since followed in the footsteps of her Saviour, and has come into full membership with the church. CHAS. L. BOYD.

Syracuse, May 26.—A course of lectures was given in the tent last July, in Syracuse, by H. Shultz and M. Hackworth, with hopeful results. We have held meetings here during the past week as we were able to obtain a hearing. We were glad to find so many holding on to the truth and the Sabbath, and to find that time and its conflicts had served to confirm and establish them. Embarrassments had been met; but with the most, victories had been achieved, which had served to “add to their faith, Christian growth and the Christian graces”; and the “suffering awhile,” had served to “perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle.”

On Sunday, after a discourse by Bro. Shultz, a church was organized. In the afternoon a brother and two sisters were immersed in joyful imitation of their Lord, and in significant commemoration of his death, burial, and resurrection, Bro. Shultz officiating. In the evening, after a discourse by Bro. Shultz upon the subject of Rev. 16 (by request), the organization of the church was further advanced by the election of officers. A. C. SPICER. H. SHULTZ.

Lyndon.—I visited the Richmond church May 10, and 11. Found the brethren active, and ready to discharge duty. Last Sabbath was a good day for the brethren of the Lyndon church. May the Lord bless the Nebraska Conference. H. A. JENKINS.
