OHIO

By H. A. St. John; A. A. Bigelow

Among the Churches.— Was with the society in London from March 7 to 12. Here, again, we were unable to gather hearers from the country on account of rain and mud. But our brethren from the country showed commendable zeal in attending all the meetings. We had a very fair hearing from the village, and we believe the church was edified and a favorable impression made upon others. This society have a neat and comfortable house of worship, which does honor to the village and cause. We hope the time is not far distant when they will have accessions to their number. We were helped on our way by these brethren after a godly sort. Indeed, we may say that in every place thus far, contributions have more than met our traveling expenses.

From March 14 to 21 we were with the Dunkirk church. Our meetings were held in Woodruff's hall, the regular place of meeting for the society. Eld. Wm. Cottrell had just closed a series of meetings here, leaving a good feeling and impression. Our evening and Sunday meetings were quite well attended by interested hearers. The hall was full to overflowing on Sunday night. The subject of health and temperance received a due share of attention. The church is much encouraged, and we have many warm friends here that we hope will be our brethren and sisters in the Lord sometime. Over nine dollars was contributed toward our expenses. Yesterday (Monday), we had three meetings with this people, and this morning we are to start in a few minutes for Belle Center, in Logan county, where we have an appointment for to-night. The Lord blesses, and we are encouraged.
