A privilege then was given for an addition of new members, whereupon eighteen responded to the call. Six paid their fees, and twelve pledged to pay at the next quarterly meeting, who are in the vicinity of the Pioneer church.

Most of us are beginners in the work of the Lord. Hope our efforts in the tract and missionary work, our increasing zeal, and earnestness in our labors, will tell the sincerity of our consecration.
