An Appeal from Spartanburg

By J. S. WASHBURN

The State of South Carolina is a mission field in the Southern Union Conference, but the work has been developing there of late in a most encouraging manner. We have no doubt that all have read of the recent trial of Elder R. T. Nash and other brethren for Sunday labor at Spartanburg. A very friendly feeling toward our people has developed as the result of that trial and the Christian attitude of our brethren at that time. The Lord enabled them to win a decided victory for the truth, and they are now endeavoring to buy a church, and fit it up for their use.

The Southern Union Conference has authorized an appeal to be made for this church throughout the South, and the General Conference Committee has also authorized the appeal to be sent out to our people. We believe that our brethren and sisters will quickly supply the six hundred dollars called for by Brother Nash for this purpose. We hope all will read his article carefully, and contribute, sending the money to Miss Elizabeth McHugh, Spartanburg, S. C., or Mrs. R. T. Nash, Campobello, S. C. Who will help this, the youngest field in the work east of the Mississippi River?

J. S. WASHBURN.
