Western Pennsylvania

By W. F. Schwartz

MAY 6 I closed my effort at Spring Meadow, as a result of which nine persons took a stand for the truth, and a Sabbath-school with an average attendance of thirty members was organized, the meetings being held in the same union chapel in which the effort was conducted. The new Sabbath-keepers are all farmers.
May 9-17 I spent with the new company at Six Mile Run, holding meetings every night, also a good quarterly meeting. While there, I baptized two persons, one of these being a case of rebaptism. The church-members are of good courage, and their chapel, which is being built, is under roof at the present time. The donations and tithe of this church to the conference since its organization have amounted to $253.37. This church of forty-two members will be taken into the conference at the coming camp-meeting. Brother J. E. Veach has been doing faithful work with this company since its organization.
May 23 the little company at Clearfield, who have been more than alive since the dedication of their new chapel, sent for me to come and baptize those who were ready. On the following day I baptized five precious souls in a beautiful mountain stream. All hearts were filled with the love of the truth, and onJune 5 I was called again to baptize six others. The church is greatly strengthened by these new additions. Also the new chapel, which has cost them eighteen hundred dollars, has proved a great blessing to them. They are still eight hundred and fifty dollars in debt, but the Lord is helping them in this. We all can thank God for these dear souls that have responded to the truth in these different places. Brother Wiper and his wife, who are working at Clearfield, can also feel amply repaid for all their labors with this company.
In closing, I will also state that there are two persons who have accepted the truth in Altoona, and desire to be baptized. W. F. SCHWARTZ.
