Clarksfield, Oct. 13.—Our district quarterly meeting held in this place is just in the past. The weather was fine, and everything passed off very pleasantly. There was quite a good representation from every church in the district. Our Sabbath-school convention, although the first one, was a success. The blessing of God was present, and a good impression was made. On Sunday at 1:30 P. M. we baptized four persons, each of whom resides in this vicinity. We remain here a week or two longer, hoping for more fruit. H. A. St. John.

New Hampshire, Oct. 13.—I closed meetings for the present at this place last night, having been here nearly seven weeks. Fifty discourses have been given. The meetings closed with favorable impressions for the truth. The last night nearly three hundred were present. Eld. Hoffman, Seventh-day Baptist was with me yesterday, and spoke twice. I have sold forty dollars’ worth of books, and have obtained fourteen subscribers for the REVIEW. Ten copies of the Instructor were taken. A Sabbath-school of twenty-nine members is organized.

This summer has been my first experience in tent labor, and I can say that it has been the happiest summer in all my life. My courage in the Lord is good, and by his help I expect to continue to labor in the cause of present truth. Bro. Babcock, who has been with me all summer as tent-master, and has spoken some, now expects to commence meetings alone. I shall now visit every church in my district, and hold meetings with them as the way may open, commencing with those that have been the longest without labor. G. G. Rupert.
