BLOOMFIELD, OHIO.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

JANUARY 2, came to this place. Though there is a large church here, yet they are so widely scattered that but few usually meet together. The weather and roads were very bad, hence the attendance was small, only about a dozen. We attended to the usual business of a church quarterly meeting. All spoke, giving encouraging testimonies. Those who made a start when I was here last spring are doing well. Bro. Underwood had formed a temperance club before I came. Though they had already used several hundred Annuals, yet they took over three hundred more. Each member also became responsible for obtaining a given number of subscribers for Good Health, amounting in all to one hundred. Each person will give more or less time to canvassing for our periodicals. The T. and M. reports showed a large improvement over last quarter. Their society is out of debt, with a large stock on hand and money in the treasury. This is the way it ought to be with each church.
