PENNSYLVANIA

By J. G. Saunders

Since the Rome, N. Y., Biblical Institute, I have visited the brethren in West Pike. They have had strong opposition to meet, and three of their number have nearly given up the truth; but the rest stand firm and are making advancement. Nine here are ready for organization; when this is effected the storm will cease its raging to a great extent.
At Hector I found all but one holding on to the truth. There is a great interest here, and we trust more will soon join the church. They keep up their prayer-meetings twice a week. It seemed hard to leave them, but I expect soon to return and follow up the interest.
The blessing of God was with us at our quarterly meeting at Port Allegany. Four were baptized, and united with the church. The interest that this new church takes in the tent enterprise this season is shown by the fact that the members pledge $110 to purchase a new forty-foot tent. If other churches will do likewise, there will be no less than six tents run in Pennsylvania this season. May this noble act inspire others to follow their example. If they will, by the blessing of God there can be a State Conference established in old Pennsylvania.
