Vansville, Sept. 23.—Meetings still continue with good interest. Two families have lately resolved to keep God’s commandments. The Sabbath-school numbers twenty-four, mostly grown people. I have obtained a few more subscribers for the REVIEW. I hope for more good yet to be accomplished.

Clarkesfield, Sept. 23.—The weather is more favorable. Some unruly fellows endeavored to break up our meeting, but they signally failed. They exploded a large knot within a few feet of the stand, in the midst of a sermon. Fortunately the pieces all went from the tent, or some would have been badly hurt, if not killed. All is quiet now. The interest is reviving some. About six have decided to obey. We do not expect many, but hope for a few others.

Leesburg, Sept. 22.—For about five weeks we have been holding meetings three miles from Leesburg. Although this is a country place, our audiences have generally been good until lately. A few are keeping the Sabbath, and others are investigating the matter with unprejudiced minds. Nearly all here are non-professors.

Last Sabbath we were with the brethren at Antioch, and found them generally doing well. The Sabbath-school was particularly interesting. The lessons were well learned, and all seemed to manifest a deep interest in the school. May the Lord bless the Antioch church.
