WINCHESTER.—Sabbath, September 10; it was my privilege to organize a church at this place, consisting of ten members. Brother J. A. Samson was chosen elder; Brother W. H. Shoemaker, deacon; Miss Sallie More, clerk and treasurer. The organization is the result of work done here by Brother John Wm. Stein, last fall and this summer; Sister Maud Dortch, last summer; Dr. O. C. Godsmark and his wife, this summer; and my wife and I last summer and also this summer. Three or four are keeping the Sabbath who were not ready to join the church, and we believe that others will soon take their stand with us.

We have now pitched the tent in another part of the city, and so far are having a good attendance. Dr. Godsmark and his wife had to go home, so my wife and I are alone now. We are of good courage, and ask an interest in the prayers of the brethren and sisters.
