OHIO

By H. A. St. John

We had interesting meetings with the brethren and sisters of Van Wert, Nov. 3-5. Rain and mud prevented a full attendance from the country around. Nearly all those who accepted the truth last summer still hold on. One good sister took her stand to keep the Lord’s Sabbath at the time of our last meeting. Organization was entered into, but the ordination of officers was deferred. We hope to have a general meeting with this church during the winter, and to see good results from the same.

Sabbath and first-day, Nov. 24, 25, we spent with the Cleveland church. One interesting feature of this meeting was the presence of three persons of real intelligence, residing sixteen miles from Cleveland, in the country, who had embraced the truth by reading. Each of these took part in our meeting, and it is needless to say that although our number was small, we had a good meeting. Five or six persons altogether have accepted the truth by reading in one neighborhood. Such developments are, or should be, very encouraging to T. and M. workers. We expect a large and strong church of Sabbath-keepers will be raised up in Cleveland at no distant period. May those living there represent the truth by a consistent life. H. A. St. John.
