We are a little band of twenty-seven members, I believe. Although small in number, I believe all are large at heart. I live in a small village five or six miles from our church, so that it is impossible for me to attend every time, but my prayer is with them. I should like to be there every time, as I am president, but we have a splendid vice president. There is a great interest taken in the Endeavor work. We have our regular meeting once a month, and meet as often as needed in between times. We were organized in January, and we have had about twenty dollars in the treasury at one time. We sew for any one for one dollar a day, and furnish our dinner, or fifty cents and one dinner furnished. As we have had only three day's work, and one social, so most of our funds we received from contributions or free will offering. I do not take the EVANGELIST, but will sometime in the future. I love to read our president's letters, and it would be grand to hear from all our societies through the paper. We could help by giving different ideas in the work. Mrs. Clara Monroe. [Note from Wayne-after looking through the BE I was not able to determine other than that this unnamed congregation is not listed. No church has a founding date of 1895.] >From Hagerstown, Md. Our revival services have closed with two accessions to the church by baptism. Several others signified their intention of uniting with us, but are still lingering with the "Almost persuaded." Brother Shaver has found it a hard field to labor in, from the fact that Hagerstown has three other churches that baptize by immersion, and two of them antagonize us. May 13, Brother Shaver commenced a revival service at Maugansville, a village three miles from Hagerstown. May 26, we expect to hold our communion at the Hagerstown church, and at St. James, Md., June 2, 7:30. We extend a cordial invitation to all of like faith. May 13. Bertha P. Byer. >From Montevideo, Va. We are still alive and moving along the best we can. Brother J. I. Hall preaches for us once a month. He is under promise to hold a protracted meeting in the near future. My son, J. F. Koontz from Conemaugh, Pa., visited his old home. Came here April 5, preached for us on Saturday night, Sunday night filled the Presbyterian pulpit at Cross Roads near here. Monday night, the 8th, we met at Mountain Grove church, where we commemorated the death and suffering of our Lord and Master in the same house where he made a confession eleven years ago. The same evening brother I. D. Bowman walked in the church unexpectedly. So we had a very pleasant evening, good preaching, with thirty-five communicants at the tables, and house crowded with spectators. Tuesday night we went to Dayton, Wednesday night to Bethlehem. Brother I. D. Bowman preached Wednesday night in Dayton, Thursday night at Bethlehem. Friday they both bid their friends farewell and started home to fill their appointments. Thus we meet in this world but must part again, yet we have a hope that we will meet to part no more, if we do our duty to ourselves, our neighbors and our God. Wm. Koontz. >From Stockton, Calif. I just closed meetings near Jenny Lind. Had good meetings. Result, three reclaimed. Oh, how sad the conditions that necessitate the work of reclaiming the dear ones "out on the mountains wild and bare." Where is sister Annie Showalter, the correspondent of our Adrian church in Missouri ? Come, sister Annie, we want to hear from you all. I now expect to return to Missouri next June. Fraternally, P. A. Garman. [Note from Wayne-back up the formation date of the Adrian, Mo. church to at least 1895.] >From Homer, Ohio. Last night we met at the river-side to witness the baptism of three of our last winter converts. The scene was very impressive. After song and prayer our pastor read several passages of scripture bearing on the subject as we practice it. After which they were beautifully immersed into the Trinty. We are growing in numbers and in grace. We all feel like saying amen to Brother Livengood's article on Long Pastorates. This church is a living witness of the truthfulness of his position, having been brought from a handful so to speak of members scattered over many miles of territory, to a membership of about eighty of live working Christians. A more earnestly devoted church is hard to find. H. S. Jacobs.
