WASHINGTON CO., ALABAMA.
By J. M. Elliott
In company with Eld. Taylor, held meetings in this county the fourth Sabbath and Sunday in March, and remained until the first Sabbath and Sunday in April. A church of ten members was organized, and a leader appointed. They have also a Sabbath-school, provided with the necessary officers. Their church building, which is nearly completed, is a very good one for this country. We met with them again on the third Sabbath and first-day in April. The people turned out quite generally, and our meetings were good. Eld. Taylor baptized nine persons; and two others, who were not prepared for baptism, will unite with them in church fellowship at Eld. Taylor’s next appointment. On the 8th of May, I start for Gadsden and Atalla in the northern part of the State, where Eld. Burrill and myself labored three years ago. Some fruit of that labor still remains; and I hope, by the help of God, to accomplish good. Eld. Taylor starts to-morrow for Mississippi, where I have been laboring some time. Pray for the prosperity of the cause in Alabama and Mississippi.
