Davis, Missionary of the Board at Marion, writes from Oukfuskee, Ala., thus: "I constituted a church, assisted by a committee appointed by Wedowee Church, nix miles Eust of the town of Wedowee, on Saturday before the second Sabbath in July, constituted with 11 members, and on Friday before the third Sabbath on August 1 commenced a meeting at that place, and continued until the Thursday following, and the result was 21 by experience, 18 baptized, 4 by letter, 25 in all added to the little church. I was assisted by my good Bro. J. W. Noles, a licentiate, whom I feel that God has blessed, and he is becoming very useful in destitute regions of country. He is now with me on o tour, and wo have had very interesting meetings. I commence again today at the little church, Antioch, that Bro. P. bas noticed in your paper, of the 27th of August. I have now baptized 21 during this quarter, and 5 others awaiting the next meeting at Rocky Branch Church". The following from Wesobulga, Ala., Sept. 5th: Two very interesting, protracted meetings have just closed, of ten days each, with the church Mt. Prospect ana Salem Carey-Association. The result of the meeting at Mt. Prospect was an addition of 14 to the church 8 by baptism. At Salem 14 by baptism. The meeting at both places closed with undiminished interest. Bro. H. I. Hickey is pastor of the former church and was assisted during the meeting by the writer. The writer is pastor of the latter church, and was assisted by brethren Hickey, Jas. D Jordan and G. W. Joiner. The latter named brethren occasionally the former through the progress of the meeting. I have also received information that there has been a general revival among the churches through this section, and I hope that the brethren engaged will forward for publication, the result of their meetings.
