The Pilot Grove Church Stands Firm
By Editor
Accompanying the action of the church at Pilot Grove, Iowa, in reference to the defection in that State, as published in last week's Review, Bro. Ingraham wrote a private letter from which we take the liberty to make the following extract: "As Pilot Grove was the place where the rebellion was met last June when Bro. White was here, we thought it would be best to speak in plain terms and take a decided stand. The church at Palestine and Washington are in union with our move. The Lisbon brethren remain firm. We spent a number of days with them, and aided them what we could. Eld. Brinkerhoff belonged to this church and tried with all his power to divide it; but instead of accomplishing his purpose, he was brought to trial and turned out. "The church remains united with the loss of only Eld. B. and wife, and two more. As Bro. Dorcas has reported the Marion meeting, I will only add that I had great strength from the Lord in meeting B. and S. They claimed that all but nine were with them, but when we left, sixteen had taken a stand against them."
