Clarksfield.—Since my last report the Congregationalist church has been closed against us, which action, as usual in such cases, has worked in our favor. The directors immediately opened the village school-house, which stood near by, which is even a better place for meetings than the dilapidated old church. Opposition is now rising somewhat, and this gives us some hope that more good will be accomplished. We continue one week or longer.

North Bloomfield, Bedford, and North Solon.—All that attended the meeting at North Bloomfield, Oct. 4, 5, were greatly encouraged to go forward. One good sister took a stand for the truth, and two were baptized and united with the church. A local temperance society was organized, and a good interest was manifested in all branches of the cause.

We organized a church of five members at Bedford. Others will soon unite with them. An elder and a clerk and treasurer were chosen. Two more have decided to obey the truth at North Solon.
