Local Church News from Indiana Conference Field
Hagerstown.—Elders Shrock and Miller are holding meetings in this place. Some of the best people of the town are attending their meetings, which have received favorable notice in the local papers. Elder Shrock occupied the pulpit of the Christian Church one Sunday, and the outlook is favorable. Tracts are being sold from house to house. Middletown.—Last Sabbath, June 15, I spent at this place, where I was glad to meet a number of brethren and sisters from Mechanicsburg and Olivet Chapel. We had an afternoon service. I also visited the church in Terre Haute, June 22, and the one at Farmersburg, the 29th. I find a few earnest, faithful members in the churches I am visiting, but there are others who are making the work of God a secondary matter. I. J. Hankins. Kennard.—I visited the brethren at Kennard, June 8. Brother Hamilton was elected and ordained as elder of the church. There was a good attendance on the Sabbath. Sunday evening the Wesleyan church, at Greensboro, opened its doors to us, and I spoke to a full house, on the closing work of the gospel. I. J. H.
