held 5, 6, & 7^th Insts. was a very interesting and in-
structive one, and particularly noted for the gen-
eral peace and quietude that prevailed in meetings
and on the premises in general. Ten meetings
were held in the three days with twenty-three
Zion Elders in attendance, and between two and
three hundred saints and friends. The Elders meet-
ing held on the 8^th continued six hours and a
half; and was one long to be remembered by all
in attendance. The time was spent in singing,
praying, bearing testimony, asking and answer-
ing questions and in giving general instruct-
ions, all were melted down until there was-
ent a dry eye in the room.

I expect to start south in a few days, holding
district conferences down through and reach
Wairarapa for annual conference of mission
April 4^th 5, & 6^th

We are just now undertakeing to, locate Elders
at Adelaide, South Australia, where we hope to
get an opening and do a good work; as the people,
as near as we have learned, are of a nature in
their surroundings and occupations, that
ought to take to the Gospel quite readily.

I am not aware that any thing has been
done as yet towards introduceing the Gospel
