Labor in Ohio.

By I. D. Van Horn

On Monday, Oct. 24, I started for my field of labor in Ohio. The 26th, I enjoyed a good meeting at West Townsend. Five were baptized, and four united with the church. The Lord gave us evidence of his approbation. The Sabbath and Sunday following, I held meetings in Melmore. The meetings resulted in good, though not as much was done as we expected. May the Lord help those who love his appearing to be faithful.
On returning to Clyde, I got news that my wife was sick. I decided to go to Defiance, to fill my appointment there; but, on arriving, I received a letter stating that my wife was worse. I then took the return train for Toledo and Battle Creek. After a stay of three weeks at home, my wife had so far recovered that I started again for my field of labor. I have filled my appointments at Rochester and Troy, where we held meetings with the tent last summer. My work at these places resulted in five being baptized, and a church of eight members fully organized. There are others in each of these places who are keeping the Sabbath, but are not prepared as yet to unite with the church. The places are so near together that the Sabbath-keepers of both places can unite in one church.
The Lord blessed us with the presence of his Spirit in our meetings. To him we will give the praise. I. D. VAN HORN.
