New Interest in Ohio.

By Jos. Clarke.

BRO WHITE: Last Sabbath, Bro Lawrence preached at Lovett's Grove; also on Sunday he gave wholesome instruction; and I suppose that to-day he will be again in the midst of his dutiful happy family, after an absence of some four months from them. Bro Van Horn left us, some few weeks since.

He and Bro Van Horn have faithfully labored in Ohio, and we are more than thankful to God, and to these his servants, and to those who sent them, for the labor bestowed upon Ohio this season, as well as for all the labors of God's servants in the past; for, having no ministers in Ohio, we are wholly dependent for such aid upon other States.

The work accomplished in Ohio this season, gives a new impetus to the cause here, and may be a new era in its history; for we are persuaded you will still send us aid, and foster this good work.

We feel that Brn. L. and V. are true shepherds, and the sheep follow their call, and feed happily upon their words; and we hope that this work will be so continued in Ohio, that it will spread and increase, until the message is finished and closed.

A very general and especial interest is felt by the brethren among us, in the work this season; because so much has been attempted, and so bold an advance made, and we greatly rejoice in its success as a company of fourteen have been raised up in Fredericktown and another of thirty or forty in Belleville, and we hope a good work also has been done among us who have been longer in the work.
