Church Visits at Cherokee and Amity
By J. H. Cook
Cherokee, and Amity.—June 19–25, we visited the church in Cherokee. They have passed through some trials since we last met with them. Satan had been most vigilant in his efforts to destroy the confidence which existed between the members. But the brethren pressed together and sought the Lord, and he carried them through. They learned that in union there is strength. One who had been a cause of trouble was disfellowshipped. We temporarily organized a health and temperance local association, ten signing the pledge. One was added to the church. June 28–30, at Amity. Here the meetings were profitable. The members appear to be growing. There is a marked improvement among the young, and in the Sabbath-school department. Two were added to the church. There is now quite a company of believers here, where a little over two years ago there was not a Sabbath-keeper in the neighborhood. J. H. Cook.
