Kuhn School-house, June 17.—The work moves slowly here, for prejudice is strong. Nine have signed the covenant, two of whom have since moved away. I remain here for some time, visiting, holding meetings, and giving instructions in singing. ORLANDO SOULE.

St. Johns, June 17.—We have a nice hall in which to hold meetings, with half the rent paid for the year. Mrs. Starbuck spoke every night for five weeks. One has decided to keep the commandments, and others are convinced. There are some to be baptized. We need the help of a minister. We design to continue the work until next spring. J. G. STARBUCK. C. M. STARBUCK.

Palmyra, Lenawee Co., Tent No. 4.—We have held four meetings in this place. It has rained most of the time, but still quite an interest is manifested. The people are beginning to examine the Bible, and questions are coming in thick and fast. We have more invitations to visit than we can accept at present. The people here kindly provide for our wants. We hope to see a little company in this place obeying the truth. Remember us in this part of the field. J. I. COLLINS.

June 16. B. F. RICHARDS.

Met with the church at Carson City, according to appointment in the REVIEW. All bore testimony in favor of the truth.

June 3d, I was at Bushnell. The Lord is adding to this church. Several will be baptized as soon as we can return to them.

The 4th, at Sheridan. Nearly all came to the meeting, and took part in it. This church is passing through some trials, but with their trials they have cause for encouragement. They are having additions to their number, as the result of Bro. Soule’s labors.

The 5th, at Six Lakes. Found six here who are trying to sustain Sabbath meetings. They are in need of help. Will endeavor to meet with them again soon.

The 6th, at Lakeview. Spent the Sabbath here, and tried to encourage those who are holding on to the truth. I think a visit from the president of our Michigan Conference would be a help to them.

Sunday, at three o’clock, found us at Morley. Brn. Wellman and Gilbert are holding tent meetings at this place. The weather has been rather cool, which has had a tendency to keep people in the community from attending; but we think there is a prospect of good being accomplished here. E. VAN DEUSEN.
