Note from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
I SPENT Sabbath and first-day with the church in Parkville. Our meetings were interesting. There are a few left (while others have died or moved away,) in and about Parkville, who appear to be united, and desirous of maintaining the truth there. By the labors of Brn. Andrews and Loughborough, twelve years since, this church was raised up, and soon built a house of worship; and had brethren not removed, but proved faithful, the church would now be strong. There has been but little labor in this place or county since the tent was there. No doubt but there are many that would be glad to hear the reasons of our faith and hope. At the close of our meeting, all in the house arose in favor of having some one of our evangelists hold a series of meetings with them as soon as may be. If this be the will of the Lord may the burden fall on the right man. I have some fears for my health, as a cold winter approaches; but, Providence permitting, I will do what I can to assist in a meeting there. Brethren, shall the house in Parkville be left desolate?
