INDIANA.

By William Covert

SUNDAY, December 19, the writer, assisted by Elder Marvin, dedicated the new house of worship lately erected by our people at Northfield, Boone County. The house is small but cozy and neat in appearance. Many friends from the surrounding country came to the services which began on Friday evening. By the time the meetings had continued three days, a good interest to hear had been secured. Bro. Marvin remained to follow it up, as many seemed desirous of learning more of the teachings of the Bible.

Elder Bartlett writes me from Wabash that twenty-three are now ready for church organization at that place. The work at these places was accomplished by following up the interest created by the camp-meeting which closed October 6, 1886.

Elder Henderson writes that he has completed the organization of a church of seventeen members at Logansport. Also a Tract Society of ten members. Brother Kauble reports an interest in Brown County where several have lately embrace the truth. Brother Roberts writes that a few have decided to obey where he is laboring at Nappanee in Elkhart County.

The brethren at Boggstown, Shelby County, have begun work on a church building. These friends are not yet organized, but have decided to build themselves a commodious house of worship, and begin church life with a home of their own.

We have word from Homer, Rush County, that they are designing and executing mottoes preparatory to the dedication of their new meeting-house there. The organization of a church will be attended to in connection with the meetings to be held when the house is dedicated. Tent-meetings were held at this place last summer, conducted by Eld. Huffman and Brethren Godsmark and Young.

The canvassing work is receiving much attention at present in this State, and we hope to see a good work done by this class of laborers.
