Chatham, Ontario.

By John W. Moore

Our cause here is still rising. Sixteen are now keeping the Sabbath, while others are deeply interested. The opposition we are receiving at the hands of the ministers, only tends to strengthen those who have embraced the truth, and it also creates a healthy desire to hear in the minds of others. Vigilant missionary societies are doing nobly. Twenty-five societies have responded to our appeal. The society in South Lancaster, Mass., is sending to Ontario, weekly, 200 copies of the SIGNS; a society in Illinois, 75 copies; one in Maine, 60 copies; one in Rome, N. Y., 50 copies; three societies in R. I., send from 10 to 20 copies each; and one in Michigan, 40 copies. We feel to thank God and take courage. Already some are embracing the truth from reading, and the Macedonian cry comes from many places, Come over and help us. JOHN W. MOORE.
