Smith's Mills, N. Y.

By Frederick Wheeler

THE monthly meeting at Smith’s Mills, June 10 and 11, was one of interest and, I trust, of profit to the church. A good representation of believers from different parts of the county were present, also a goodly number of others both on Sabbath and first-day. Four discourses were given, one by Eld. Taylor, one by the writer, and two by sister Ross, which were listened to with interest.

On first-day morning, we held a business meeting to consider the subject of organization. After remarks by different brethren, the brethren at Smith’s Mills thought best for the present to unite with the West Monroe church rather than to have a separate organization, and to alternate in our Sabbath meetings, our places of worship being about four miles apart. Two were baptized, and ten gave in their names and were received by vote as members of the church at West Monroe. Others we expect will soon go forward and unite with the church.
