Report from Proyo: The sisters in the Belief Society are faithful in the discharge of their duties, and many of them impart of their substance until I almost think the receiver fares better than the giver. Our meetings a re 2; not so well attended as I could wish but the "taithful few" seem to possess a good spirit and enjoy our communion together. I believe the Relief Societies have had a great influence in uniting tho hearts of the sisters and of doing away, in some degree, with that which has been too much in the midst of the Saints. We have invested in institutions where we have a 'small Jbujtpefualr benefit in- - dividends; bur in consequence of the many poor in our ward we have not been able as yet to build a house but hopo to do so in time.
