SWIFT RIVER.— The work is onward here. For some time no new members were added to our numbers, but January 17 two were buried with their Lord in baptism. Since then we are having quite an interest, and souls are taking their stand for the truth.
Our Sunday night meetings are well attended. A man about seventy-nine years old, also the leader, his wife, and a young preacher of a small sect of Independent Baptists, and another man past sixty years of age, have accepted present truth. Three of these were baptized February 8.
The church in this place was organized on the 8th inst., Elder W. J. Tanner presiding. Seventeen persons were taken into full membership with the church, and others intend to unite soon. Elder Tanner was elected church elder, and Sister Margaret Gray church clerk and treasurer. There is still an interest here. After the baptism we had a full house to listen to the truth for this time.
The brethren are organized into a working band. They go among the people and do house-to-house work with tracts and other reading-matter. The recent week of prayer has given quite a stimulus to this work.
Since the organization I have been to John's Hall, where we are doing aggressive work on the church building. Another new member has been added to the Sherwood Forest company. We are of good courage. HUBERT FLETCHER.
