From Bro. Smith.
BRO. SMITH: On the 26th inst., a small company of Sabbath-keepers, assembled here in Blendon, and organized a church, so far as we could under existing circumstances without the aid of a messenger. Three members were received by letter, and three per vote of the body. A leader, a clerk, and a treasurer were chosen. Resolutions were unanimously passed to live out present truth in toto, also for receiving members, and withdrawing fellowship. We also organized systematic benevolence, amounting to thirty-three dollars and eighty cents per year.
We have long been buffeted by the enemy, and have felt impelled to the course we have taken, lest we should make shipwreck of our faith. In behalf of this body, I hereby earnestly appeal to those in authority, to send hither, at first opportunity, a messenger, to perfect our church organization.
ADOLPHUS SMITH. Blendon, Ottawa Co., Mich.
