Bastia and Ajaccio, Corsica.
By D. T. Bourdeau
To THE praise of our God, I am happy and thankful to still report success. Never have I seen a work develop and mature so rapidly. I have now been on this island a trifle over three weeks, and have used up nearly six days of this time in traveling not far from 400 miles, by stage, to meet urgent calls in these two cities, which are over 100 miles apart. I have started a Sabbath-school, and organized a church, ordaining the proper officers—tried men—to carry on the work in my absence. All names are attached to a pledge to pay tithes for the support of the closing work of the gospel in France and Italy. The church record books, and the account book for tithes, are in good shape. I set sail for Italy this evening at six o'clock. D. T. BOURDEAU.
