THE FRENCH MISSION.

By M. B. Czechowski

DEAR BRO. SMITH: During the last few weeks I have been occupied with my French Mission in Clinton county. I have rode on horseback 121 miles, and delivered fifteen lectures. The people listened with much attention. Last Sunday, the 22nd ult., I assisted Bro. Taylor at West Chazy. We had a large congregation, who listened with much interest to the preaching of the word. Bro. Taylor preached p. m. four hours with liberty and much power. At the close of the services the congregation passed a unanimous vote to have Bro. Taylor return and preach to them the present truth at some future time. Eld. Dow, an Advent preacher who was present, made some remarks, and gave notice that he would preach there four weeks from that time, against the second and third angels' messages. I purpose to go and hear how he will place the second and third angels' messages before the first. I feel curious to hear him.

I have appointed a French Conference to be held in Chazy village, near lake Champlain, commencing Sabbath evening, September 2nd, and continuing over Sunday. Please give the notice in the Review. I would give a special invitation to Brn. Augustine and Daniel Bourdeau to be present, also any other ministering brethren from Vermont who can make it convenient. I would request the French brethren in Clinton Co., and Vermont, to invite their friends and neighbors, both Catholic and Protestant to attend, and I trust all the brethren will be present.

I commend myself to the prayers of the church in Battle Creek. My salutation to all the saints.

Your brother, M. B. CZECHOWSKI. Mooers, N. Y., July 26th, 1859.
