Brief Summary of Labors.

By James White

We have not had time to give full reports of labors for the past two months, and will now give but a brief summary for the past twenty weeks as follows:

We have, in this time, traveled by railroad 3200 miles, and by private conveyance 600. Have held 140 meetings, and preached 60 times, and have spoken more or less in nearly all these meetings. Mrs. W. has spoken from half an hour to two hours in more than 100 of these meetings. We have assisted in the ordination of four ministers, and the dedication of one house of worship. Have presided in the examination of 150 candidates for baptism, and have baptized 18. Have been present where three couple have been married in the Lord, where the services and ceremonies have been characterized by the simplicity and solemnity of the religion of Christ, and have officiated in the solemnities of one occasion.

We have returned to this dear people, weary and worn, where we share their full sympathy, and where Mrs. W. and self are heard as in former days.

We leave for our good home in Greenville the 15th, where we hope to hear from friends.
