Clyde, Ohio.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

THE State Quarterly meeting was held at Clyde, May 2-6. We had the largest turnout from all parts of the State that we have ever had except at a camp-meeting. Nearly all the leading brethren from the various parts of the State were here. The Lord has greatly blessed the cause here since last camp-meeting. Seven or eight new churches have been raised up, most of the churches have been revived, and nearly two hundred, in all, have embraced the Sabbath. Promising fields are opening in every direction.

Many interesting things occurred at the Clyde meeting which we cannot even mention. Elder S. Shreves, Methodist minister at Newark, has just embraced the truth, and resigned his charge there. He now goes out with Eld. Burrill. Five were licensed for the first time at this meeting, and Brn. Rupert, Underwood, Gates, and Guilford were ordained. Two were baptized and three admitted into the church.

Thus closed one of the sweetest meetings we ever attended in Ohio, as all the brethren testify. We thank God, and take courage. D. M. Canright
