DAYTON AND PATAHA PRAIRIE, W. T.

By Alonzo T. Jones; William L. Raymond

FROM March 12-30, we were with the churches of Dayton and Pataha Prairie.

At Dayton, one was baptized, who united with the church. Ten signed the Teetotal Pledge. Four joined the Benevolent Aid Association, and others will do so soon. Also enough was pledged to insure the erection of a meeting-house. A building committee was appointed, and the house will be built just as soon as the lumber can be obtained from the mountains, and properly seasoned. The house will be 24x36.

At Pataha Prairie, a T. and M. Society was organized, consisting of nine members, and a Benevolent Aid Association of nine. Thirteen signed the Teetotal Pledge. And there also the building of a meeting-house is assured by sufficient pledges, and the house will be built as soon as the material can be procured. When it is considered that the Pataha church consists of only ten members, (five men and their wives), we think they have displayed a commendable zeal in the work of the Lord. May the Lord bless in all the efforts of both churches to advance the great work of the third angel's message.
