Lancaster Church, Erie Co., New York.
By Chas. B. Reynolds
Returned here after our monthly meeting at North Parma. Held meeting at Wende, Plank Road School-house, Sabbath, April 20. Spoke on scriptural baptism. The next first-day, fourteen were buried with Christ in baptism, rising, as we hope, to “walk in newness of life.” The next Sabbath, Bro. J. M. Lindsay, president of the Tract and Missionary Society, and Bro. Stephen Craig, director of this district, met with the church. The next day a tract society was organized. The cases of ten applicants for membership were then considered. Two were admitted, having been baptized. The other eight were baptized, making in all twenty-four added to the Lancaster church. We feel to praise the Lord for the work he has done here. Dear brethren and sisters, pray earnestly for me, that I may do the work of the Lord, giving him all honor and glory, ignoring self, living to exalt his truth, and humbling myself daily before him. There are others under deep conviction who we hope may be able to break loose from the bonds that hold them, and stand free with the people of God. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
