To the Editori
The work Of the Lord is still pro-
crossing in South Alabama. Many
openings are being made on all sides for
preaching the G lspel; and as time rolls
on we gain experience aud become m ore
efficient in our various calings.
In our conference, one cannot but
notice the steady progress being made
by the missionaries. Each day brings
new opportunities Tor doing good-each
day brings victory over the obstacles
met. The Lord is certainly stretching
| forth his mighty arm and gathering His
people, Israel.
1t seems as though much more fav-
orable spirit has seized the people. here,
| for they sre lenling a listening ar,
where not long ago a spirit OF indiff-r
ence predominated The spirit OF in
vtsligation seems to have come upon
them and they are beginning TO
hearken.
| We have thirty.two Elders Blu lily en-
gagged in the cause Of ruth in this con-
lie ence, and expect two recruits about
| the oath of the present month And
although this is the largest number
OF reapeIs ever engaged in this Held a
one time, yet there is labor Tor grea
many more, for we fully realize that tn,
harvest truly is great and the laborer'
are few"
There is not week passes but som'
are added to the fold, and time alcn,

will be done this year.
We have Elders in tie city, the ham
let and country, and all have ilatterni
reports TO make OF course we know
that truth may be resisted, yet she !
mighty and in the end will prevail
The humi ity and determination Of uu
Elders is beginning to arouse the pee
pie from their leihargic state.
The weather of late has been quit
changeable, and, owing TO the grea
