Church Organized in Chicago

By Wm. Covert

WE gladly state that another church of Seventh-day Adventists has recently been organized in Chicago. This new church meets in Belden Hall. The place is at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Orchard Street, second floor. The entrance is from Lincoln Avenue. It is near the place where our camp-meeting was held last summer. Much labor has been bestowed in that part of the city recently, and perhaps fifty persons embraced the truth in connection with the service, but some of these have united with the different Seventh-day Adventist churches in Chicago and elsewhere, and probably twenty in this district are keeping the Sabbath as a result of the meetings, but have not united with any of our churches yet. About twenty members belong to the new organization, and half of these are receiving letters from other churches that they may unite there. It is confidently expected that other persons who have lately embraced the truth will soon unite with the company here. This new church enters upon its course with courage and confidence in the righteousness of the cause which it has espoused. May its membership increase and its works be approved by the Lord.
