Smith changes his location from Home City to Mingone, Barter Co., Kan. Bro. J. S. Snavely's address is now Greenwood, Cass Co., Neb., instead of Elmwood, as heretofore. Bro. J. D. Rife's address has been changed from Jalapa, Grant Co., Ind., to Somerset, Wabash Co., same State. Bro. J. W. Jarboe has changed his address from Pleasant Grove, Kan., to Lawrence, same State. Those wishing to write to him, will please note this change. Bro. Jacob Hollinger, of the Upper Cumberland church, Pa., reports two more received by baptism, making seven precious souls added to the fold since New Year's day. We learn that Eld. David Priddy has been lying in a helpless condition for nine months, and that old sister Holler is also in a very feeble condition. May the Lord sustain these pilgrims in their afflictions. [Note from Wayne: Sister Holler was Eld. Priddy's mother-in-law, Mary 'Leedy' Holler] Bro. J. S. Mohler moves to Morrill, Kan., and will labor in the Master's cause at that place. His correspondents will take notice that his address is changed from LaDue, Henry Co., Mo., to Morrill, Brown Co., Kan. Bro. G. W. Gibson, Girard, Ill., informs us that Bro. A. W. Vaniman preached several sermons for them before he started for Texas. They have received eight by baptism into the Macoupin Creek church during the past year. A letter from Bro. L. E. Fahrney, of the Salem church, Reno Co., Kansas, says, Brethren J. D. Trostle and Lemuel Hillery were with them, laboring for the Master. Four were added to the Church by baptism, four by letter, and others are almost persuaded. Bro. Landon West preached from Feb. 20th to 26th for the Brethren at Donell's Creek church, Ohio. Good impressions were made. Since New Year's nine have united with the Church. Bro. David Leatherman was forwarded to the second degree of the ministry. We glean from Bro. A. F. Ziegler. [Note from Wayne: Make note of this one Gale] Bro. A. S. Lahman, of Melbourne, Iowa, met with a painful and serious accident Feb. 23. He was attending a public sale in his neighborhood, and, while looking at the horses, one of them kicked him, injuring him severely. He was kindly cared for, and taken to his home, where, under the prompt application of remedies, and the care of family and friends, he is fast recovering. Bro. William Mallory, of Cartersville, Cumberland Co., Va., makes a strong appeal for a minister to come and help labor for them. There are fifteen of them without a shepherd. He says, "We had a speaker last year-Bro. Sutton, but the Lord saw fit to take him away, and now we are without a minister. We have been trying for these many years to get some one to come, but have failed. We had six additions here last summer, the fruits of Bro. Sutton's labors, and much good may be done by a good, faithful brother."We hope our Virginia brethren will look after the wants of this isolated band of faithful members. Sister Eliza Swab, a poor widow of Lanark, Ill, would like to have a good place for a little boy eight years old. She would be willing to let some of the brethren take him and keep him until he is of age, for his board and clothes. The home ministers in many parts of the Brotherhood have done, and are doing, a good work this winter. They find that by putting their trust in the Lord and going to work to save sinners, the Lord blesses their efforts, and numbers are brought to Christ. Bro. A. Hutchison writes from Oak Hill, Va., under date of Feb. 26, as follows: "This will inform your readers that I expect to leave here on my homeward journey the first day of March. Will stop with the Brethren in Ohio a few days. I aim to reach Chicago by the 13th, and will spend a few days with the Father's children there. Thence to Mt. Morris, and will spend the rest of the time, until April, in Northern Illinois, as they may arrange. I wish to reach home by April 6." Bro. J. D. Haughtelin, of Panora, Iowa, writes us that sister Catharine Walter, one of the original eight members of the organization of what is known as the Coon River church, is quite ill with a severe and dangerous cancer. She called for the elders and received the anointing according to the direction of the apostle, Feb. 26. She and her husband desire the prayers of the faithful. Sister W. is a sister to P. J. Brown, widely known among the Brethren. Bro. C. P. Long, formerly of Cerro Gordo, Ill., writes us that they have reached their new home in Texas safely. He says, "I wish to express my love and gratitude to the members at Cerro Gordo for their kindness to us while we were with them. We will hold them in kind remembrance while memory lasts. We wish to correspond with Brethren at Williams Creek and Live Oak, Texas. If they will kindly address me at Payne's Store, Hunt Co., Texas, I shall be glad to write to them. Bro. S. J. Harrison has this to say on the matter of matrimonial notices: "The marriage and death notices, I always look over. It is a matter of news, allowable in a religious paper, because an institution of the church. A certain degree in the ministry being required, before any member is allowed or appointed to solemnize marriage ceremonies, certainly shows that the church is interested in the marriage of its members and their children, and few others ever ask space.
