CAMDEN, OHIO.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

HAVE just closed a five days' meeting here. This is a new church, raised up this year by Eld. St. John and others. They have erected a meeting-house, in which we held our meetings, though it is not completed. This is the third meeting-house we have built in Ohio in 1879, in places where we had no society at the beginning of the year.

I judge there are about forty Sabbath-keepers at Camden. They have good meetings and Sabbath-school. Though the roads were very bad, we had a good attendance. Many not of our faith are interested, for whom we hope. We labored principally in the missionary and temperance work, as but little had been done in these branches. It will still require much patient labor to get them well at work judiciously distributing our reading matter, and obtaining subscribers to our periodicals. The only way this can be accomplished is by personal labor with each individual.
