CORRESPONDENCE. >From Bachelor's Run Church, Ind. Bro. J. H. Miller held some very interesting meetings for us. His preaching was well received, and we think much good was done. Come again, Bro. Miller. A few of those who came to the church when we had so many accessions, have gone out from us. We hope the dear brethren who are gathering so many into the fold of Christ, will be careful that all who come are converted to the truth, otherwise they bring trouble into the church, and in the end go to other organizations. Bro. David Neff was at our quarterly meeting; everything passed off pleasantly, and the best of feeling prevailed. With a very small exception, the church is in a healthy condition, as far as we are able to judge. As there was some important work before the church, we thought it proper to call Bro. Neff to our assistance, as he is well established in the order of the general Brotherhood. Just such a person should be on hand when there is important work in the church to do. Bro. David Niccum was ordained as an elder; and brethren Sanford Seawright and Riley Montgomery were advanced to the second degree of the ministry. This work was done almost by the unanimous consent of the church. May they prove faithful in their calling! Hiel Hamilton. [Note from Wayne: For you historians out there please make note of the ministerial and eldership information in this item.] >From Sugar Ridge Church, Mich. We were encouraged on our Christian journey by Bro. Samuel Weimer, of Harbor Springs, Mich. The people ask, "Will he come again?" Such preaching we like to hear. I wonder when our ministering brethren, living in the different counties in Michigan, south of us, will do as Bro. Weimer did? People will accept the truth here as well as elsewhere. Brethren, can't you give us some help as you pass into well-established churches? Don't you believe we need help to build up our little flock here? Don't get alarmed about the lake, for we live twelve miles from it. I see some brethren spent a great deal of time in Indiana, where there are plenty of able speakers. Who will come and hold a series of meetings for us? Wm. H. Kree. Custer, Mich. >From Mondovi, Lincoln Co., W. T. I am thinking of the many brethren and sisters who are this Lord's Day enjoying the blessed privilege of attending public worship. We have lived here five years, and but once in that time have we enjoyed the privilege of receiving of the pure water of life fresh from the living fountain. Dear brethren and sisters, you who have not tried it know nothing of the trials of living isolated. We have many temptations to contend with. Satan comes up on every side, throwing out inducements, and, as a way-worn traveler, the weary feet sometimes step aside the narrow path. Thanks be to God, that, by his help, we are trying to keep the path as best we can, through all opposition. It almost seems useless to call for help, as there are many calls in the G. M. that seemingly go unheeded. We, as a great many more, are in limited circumstances, and have not the means with which to pay a minister to come and preach for us. Have we no general mission fund? If the funds would be used for hunting up isolated members, and building up churches where the gospel in its true light has not yet been heard, I think the purse strings would be loosed, and all would give more cheerfully; many poor hearts would be made to rejoice. Brethren and sisters, pray for us in our isolated condition, that we may hear the gospel sound as well as you. Grant, oh Heavenly Father, that the eyes of thy dear children every-where may be opened wider, that they may more fully understand the importance of missionary work, and act accordingly. Nettie E. Flory. >From Crooked Creek Church, Washington Co., Ia. On March 5, we held our quarterly conference; business passed off pleasantly. We gave some letters of membership to some who moved away from us. We wish them success in their new homes, and hope we may always be united in the Master's cause. In the evening Bro. A. Wolf preached for us, from the words, "If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear"? During the winter we have had but little preaching. Our elder, John Thomas, was sick, and Bro. A. Senger was absent on a visit in Virginia. We were glad to meet together for worship again. We will gladly welcome any of our ministers who will come and encourage us on our way Zionward. D. P. Miller. >From Decatur County, Iowa. By request of the Brethren of Locust Grove, Wayne Co., Ind., wife and I left Garden Grove, Iowa, Jan. 20; commenced meeting on the evening of the 22nd. Had sixteen evening meetings; also a number of day meetings. Eld. J. C. Caylor assisted a few days. On account of bad weather and roads, the attendance was not large, but it was all that could be expected, under the circumstances. We hope the church was strengthened. Five accepted Christ, and were baptized. God help us all to be faithful ! This is the locality in which we spent our youthful days. We moved from here to Iowa in 1857. We found only a few of our former acquaintances. These were renewed, and many new ones formed. God bless the dear brethren, sisters and friends for their unmerited kindness to us! Met with the Brethren at the Brick church on Feb. 13; visited relatives in Henry, Madison and Howard counties; also at Decatur, Ill. Arrived home Feb. 26. Thank God for his protecting care; all praise to his name! Lewis M. Kob. >From Loramie's Church, Shelby Co., Ohio. We are making some progress in the good work of the Master. Feb. 13 two more were added to the church by baptism. On the 26th of the same month, we held our quarterly meeting. Business was transacted in a Christian spirit. Brethren Jacob Hollinger and E. M. Danford were elected delegates to the District Meeting. We are few in number, hence decided not to send a delegate to A. M. The poor were not forgotten, and the missionary work was attended to. Jonas Deeter. >From Falls City, Nebr. A letter reached me from J. D. Rosenberger, Souderton, Pa., containing $2.00 for the Salem church. This sum came from the Hatfield Poor Fund. The letter also states that sister Mary Brooks did not give her post-office address, hence the contribution was sent to me to forward. For the benefit of others who may feel like contributing, I will give her address, Salem, Richardson Co., Nebr. Sister Sumstine's is the same; mine is as above. Any money sent to either will be reported in G. M., and applied to defraying the debt now hanging on the shoulders of our dear, active sister. Promises that were made to her and not carried out, leave her in a rather unpleasant condition, and I hope it may draw sufficiently upon the sympathy of our well-to-do Brethren that she may be relieved of the burden, as the money is nearly all due. Immediate action is requested. I am well acquainted with the case, and can fully sympathize with her. Any further information will be gladly given by the undersigned. R. K. Berkeybile.
