Evening List, The following item from the May 24, 1887 issue of the Gospel Messenger (page 333) has some intersting facts about the congregation that did not make it into the Southern District of Ohio history written some thirty plus years later. But the article does demonstrate that Eld. J. C. Bright was starting to amass material towards such a history if it was ever written. Wolf Creek Budget. During the year, closing March 1, the Wolf Creek church has increased in number more than in any previous year of its history. We received about thirty-seven by letter and baptism. Love and peace prevail, thanks be to the Lord. Who will give me the biography of the first two elders of the Wolf Creek church-Daniel Cripe and Emmanuel Flory? They both left this district in, or before, 1830. In what year were they elected to the ministry, when ordained, etc.? Was Daniel Cripe the same one who served on the Standing Committee of the Special Meeting of 1848? I will thankfully receive all information relative to these two brethren, and also to the first deacons of this church, as I am preparing a history of it. At our council, April 28, we decided unanimously to organize Sunday-schools at two places - our big house and the Eversole house. The church elected brethren Jacob Hepner and Jacob Kimmel, Superintendents. Our love-feast was held on the evening of May 7. The large room in the big church near Brookville, was crowded with communicants, and some were in the basement story. Nearly 400 communed. This was the first communion service held in this church, in which we "rose from supper," and "washed one another's feet," after the pattern instituted by the Head of the church, in that memorable upper chamber. The order was good; the change gave entire satisfaction, and joy filled our hearts. Many of the dear brethren and sisters enjoyed what they had long looked, waited and labored for, and "thanked God and took courage." Eld. I. J. Rosenberger led in the services, assisted by elders G. Holler, L. West, O. F. Yount and others. The District Meeting of Southern Ohio was held May 10, in the Price's Creek church, Preble Co., O. Twenty-two churches were represented. Bro. John Smith was chosen Moderator; Bro. Jesse Stutzman, Reading Clerk; and Landon West, Writing Clerk. Bro. Jesse Stutzman was appointed as our delegate for the Standing Committee. There were ten queries before the Meeting, mostly of a local character. The mission work received the unanimous encouragement of the meeting. Ministers were instructed to "study" and "read" and "rightly divide." The membership was admonished to give substantial aid in forwarding the good work. We also decided that members who visited saloons should give satisfactory reasons for doing so (if it can be done). We send nothing to the A. M. The atttendance was large and business transacted in a spirit of brotherly love. Bro. Joseph Holder, of North-western Ohio, and Bro. Spitzer, of Indiana, were with us. JOHN CALVIN BRIGHT.
