The Herald for August 1 contained some interesting items as follows:
Bro. Mark H. Forscutt was at Plano for a day or two in the third week in July, on a flying visit. He has gained in flesh and rugged appearance by his over-the-ocean trip. He returned to his home at Kewanee on the 18th of July; but was to fill an appointment on the 20th, at Union, the place where he met Elder C. W. Smith, in discussion, a year ago last spring. . . .
Bro. H. J. Hudson, of Columbus, Nebraska, writes that Bro. Alexander H. Smith passed that place on the 14th of July, en route for California. . . .
Bro. T. W. Smith has arrived "down east," and is busy in his field.
Bro. C. G. Lanphear has been at Green Center, Indiana, where he baptized.
Letters from Bro. J. C. Clapp inform us that he is having good houses and very kind treatment in Graves and Murray Counties, Kentucky. His health is being reëstablished, which will be good news to many who have feared for him.
Bro. A. N. Caudle has started south, and will likely go to the field of Bro. Clapp.
Bro. B. V. Springer is in Indiana, at work for the Master.
Brn. Robert Davis and J. S. Snively are at work in Canada. So also are others of the Canadian elders.
Brn John H. Lake, Joseph R. Lambert, Frank Reynolds, and others are busy in the south of Iowa and middle Illinois.
The elders in California are striving to obtain the crown for labor and sacrifice.
Bro. James W. Gillen is in Montana preaching.-The Saints' Herald, vol. 20, pp. 483, 484.
July 18, 1873, Elder L. F. West wrote the following good news from Milton, Florida:
The field in the South is opening far and wide, and where there is but one feeble and financially pressed traveling elder, there is room for half a score or more. The golden grain is inviting reapers. Thousands of honest-hearted souls in the South are standing ready for the "reapers of life's harvest."-The Saints' Herald, vol. 20, p. 522.
August 10, Elder Joseph Lakeman wrote from Grand Manan, New Brunswick: "I am pleased to inform you that the work here is still onward, with a very good feeling outside of the church."
