Copper Ridge.—Shortly after the ministerial institute in Knoxville, Elder P. G. Stanley requested us to visit the Copper Ridge church. We began meetings here, March 22. In a few nights a good interest was secured, and the church was filled each evening. The weather was very bad a great deal of the time, but this did not prevent us from reaching the interested ones.
This series of meetings continued until April 16, and a number took a stand to keep the Lord’s commandments. From that time we endeavored to further instruct these, so they might be in harmony with us on every point, and be ready for baptism. Sabbath, May 6, we had the pleasure of receiving eight new members into the church. We had a precious meeting that day. The Lord came near, and hearts were melted in love under the influence of his Holy Spirit.
Sunday, May 7, Elder J. B. Locken buried seven precious souls with their Lord in baptism. Four or five more will be ready for baptism in a few weeks. We praise the Lord for his blessings to us in this place, and pray that sheaves may be gathered into the garner of God as a result of our seed-sowing in this community. J. L. SHULER, MRS. J. L. SHULER.
