Additions to the Jefferson Church

By C. P. Haskell

GENEVA.—It was really a source of much encouragement for me to meet with the Jefferson church on their quarterly meeting occasion. The weather was favorable so that friends from Orrville, Harpersfield, Conneaut, and Geneva were present. It was one of those meetings which are not soon forgotten. One believer was taken into the church, and others were present who were not quite ready.
Last Sabbath we again met with the same company, and baptized four, whom we had visited since quarterly meeting. These and six others united with the church, making ten in all. These were all grown people, but one—a lad of about twelve years. The Baptist people very kindly let us use their church and baptistry.
There is another nice family who have recently begun keeping the Sabbath, and whom we hope soon to see unite with the church.
With these additions we trust this will become one of our strong churches. Some of these dear brethren have had a lonely time, but they now take fresh courage. C. P. HASKELL.
