Waterford, Ohio.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

BRO. BURRILL put up his new tent here, and from the first we had a large interest. On both Sundays there was an immense crowd, both sides of the road being lined with teams for more than half a mile. They came from fifteen miles each way. Through the week the attendance was good. Sabbath and Sunday, a large number of Sabbath-keepers came in from the adjoining churches. One-half or more of these were new converts to the truth. This was cheering. Quite a number of young people made a start on the Sabbath. The next Sabbath twelve united with the church, receiving the right hand of fellowship. Bro. E. C. Penn was elected and ordained leader. A clerk for the church, and also another for the legal society, was elected. Then we enjoyed an excellent social meeting, in which all took part. All seemed encouraged and strengthened. We closed with the communion. D. M. CANRIGHT.
