Request for Meetings at Salem

By Joel L. Locke

Bro. Joel L. Locke writes from Salem, Ind., May 22d, 1857: “The little band of brethren and sisters here in Salem request me to write a few lines in their behalf, and entreat some of the preaching brethren to come and hold a series of meetings here. It is almost three years since any of the messengers have met here with us. We do not enjoy the privilege of attending to the ordinances of the gospel, and we sometimes feel as the Psalmist did, No man cared for my soul. Yet we are striving to obtain eternal life.

“If any of the brethren can come, I would say, We live one mile west of Salem Center.”
