VALIANT 21.

By F. A. Buzzell

Such is my mental exclamation, as I notice the report of Dis. No. 3, in the report of the Ohio T. and M. Society. Six districts—the largest with eighty members, the smallest, No. 3, with twenty-one.

Adding up the columns of figures showing the amount of work performed by each district, No. 3's aggregate is 42,467; No. 4's—80 members—is 27,923; and No. 5's—60 members—is 11,153; again, when it comes to the “hard pan” of dollars and cents, little No. 3, leads the van with a total of $171.00—$75.00 more than those districts three and four times its size, and $54.00 more than any of the other districts. In reports, donations, visiting, writing, subscriptions, distribution, and almanacs, little 21 crowns the work. Other districts did well, and there are doubtless circumstances under which the larger districts labor at a disadvantage; yet certainly No. 3 is a working district. “Go thou and do likewise.”

Brethren and sisters in the T. and M. work, do you desire to be provoked after a Bible sort? Get REVIEW, of July 26, and see what has been done. Oh! that there were thousands of such districts engaged in this great work of warning men to “flee from the wrath to come.” F. A. BUZZELL.
