- From the Church in Eureka and Fairplains. The most of the brethren and sisters of this church are trying to arise with the message, and get ready for the coming of our returning Lord. We have meetings every Sabbath except the first Sabbath of every month when we meet with the church at Orleans. We have a Sabbath-school with a tolerable good interest manifested by the children. We number at present sixteen members, two dismissed by letter, and one excluded, and one left without a letter, making a decrease of four. No additions during the year. Our s. B. fund amounts to $166,92 this present year. We mean to continue steadfast until Jesus comes.2 paragraphs
- From the Church in Green Bush. The church here are striving to overcome, and want to have a place with the people of God. We now number seventeen members, the youth and children included. Our loss for the last year has been two members only, while our additions have been seven, six of the number being the children and youth of parents that are keeping the Sabbath in this place. We have a Sabbath-school for the youth in which they are greatly interested. They seem to be striving to overcome all of their faults, and have a home with the redeemed on the earth made new. May God's blessing rest down upon them. Our s. B. fund amounts to $49,40 yearly.2 paragraphs

B. fund though as yet incomplete, amounts to about $125. A meeting, Bible-class and Sabbath-school are very well sustained on the Sabbath, and a prayer-meeting every Tuesday evening.
