Sharpsville, Ind.

By W. C.

Those who meet at this place for worship are much scattered, living in three different counties, Howard, Tipton, and Clinton. Some have to travel seven miles to attend meeting; yet we hold our meetings every Sabbath unless the going is extremely bad. We are not organized yet, but hope to be this spring or summer. I am happy to say that not one of our number has given up the blessed hope so dear to the Christian; but one more has concluded to go with us to the Father's house. Our social meetings are precious seasons.

Bro. Waggoner preached a few sermons at this place about twelve years ago, and the seed sown at that time is springing up yet. The brethren and sisters generally are anxious that he shall attend our next camp-meeting.

We feel like expressing our thanks to God and the brethren of Michigan for the timely aid sent us in the persons of the Brn. Lane. May God keep them humble and energetic in his cause.
