Bro. Andrew Hutchison writes, under date of the 11th inst., as follows: “Yon may say to your readers that I am still quite hopeful that I shall be permitted to work for the Lord a little while longer. I have just returned from the Mound church, which is in Bates County, Mo. their new meeting-house, which has recently been built, is located in the town of Adrian; 30x40 feet in the size of the house. It is plain, neat, and well-built edifice, well suited to the purpose of which it was erected. It was dedicated to the Lord, Dec. 8, and it seating capacity was well nigh filled with an attentive class of listeners. The Brethren at that place certainly deserve credit for their work and prudence.

From the Mound Church, Mo.

This church met in quarterly council July 3. Bro. E. E. John and J. E. Mohler, of Leeton, Mo., were present with us. Bro E. E. John was been our elder for some time and has been faithful in the discharge of this duty, but on account of his resignation, Eld. G. W. Lentz was chosen in his stead.

Bro. Ira Witmore was advanced to the second degree of the ministry. Two deacons were chosen, and the lot fell on brethren C. Christenson and F Enos. There was a solicitor appointed to solicit funds for the poor in India and Asia. A committee was also appointed for mission work in our own vicinity. The church at this place seems to be growing very much spiritually. We feel the need of more work being done by every one.

We expect Bro. A Hutchison, of McPherson, Kans., to begin a series of meetings at this place, Sept. 4, and continue two of three weeks. Our love feast will be Sept. 24. Cora M. Lentz. Adrian, Mo.

Happy Hill mission met in council Dec. 15, with Bro. Jesse D. Mohler, of Warrensburg, presiding. We organized a separate congregation, known as the Happy Hill congregation. We were formerly a mission of the Mound church at Adrian, Mo., Eld. G. W Lentz, who moved into our midst from Kansas City, a short time ago, was chosen elder. We are only twenty-one in number but all seem to be in unity of spirit and willing to take responsibility. Bro. J. S. Merkey was reelected as superintendent of the Sunday school and Bro. Cal. Bashore as president of the Christian Workers. Bro. Mohler gave us many valuable suggestions in regard to our rganization. He preached twice on Sunday, Dec. 16, which was much appreciated. – Alice Lee, Rich Hill, Mo., Dec. 17.
