INDIANA

By S. H. Lane

Although I have not reported for several weeks, yet I have been laboring constantly among the churches in various parts of the State. As a general thing, there seems to be a growing earnestness to labor in the T. and M. work. Several towns and cities are being canvassed for SIGNS and REFORMERS. The Household Manual, as a premium for REFORMER, gives entire satisfaction.

Bro. A. W. Bartlett and myself labored last summer with tent No. 1. As the result, we have organized two churches, one at Thorntown, the other at Darlington. Bro. Covert, during the past few weeks, has been laboring near these new churches. The Lord has blessed his labors. We have organized S. B. in these churches to the amount of $125.00 per year, which they have pledged to the State Conference.

Dec. 15, 16, I was at Thorntown. The meetings were excellent, and the attendance large. One was baptized and united with the church. Steps are being taken to erect a meeting-house. The Thorntown church has united in the T. and M. work with Dist. No. 2. The town is being canvassed for the REFORMER.

Spent Dec. 22, 23 with the church at Ligonier. The turnout was good. During the past year this church has erected and completed a fine brick meeting-house. For neatness and convenience this house is rarely excelled. The house was dedicated to the worship of God, Dec. 23, and was well filled upon the occasion. The sermon made a good impression. To the Lord be all the praise for the progress the truth is making in the State of Indiana.
