Letter from Bro. Taylor.
By Chas. O. Taylor
BRO. WHITE: In company with Bro. Czechowski, I have just returned from a very interesting visit with the churches at Buck's Bridge, Norfolk and Bangor. My mission was partly one of charity, that is, to collect donations for Bro. C. The brethren received him very kindly, looked at the object of my visit in its true light, and gave freely and liberally. We received from the church at Buck's Bridge $75,00; from Norfolk $7,00; Bangor $2,00; from Bro. Day's $2,00. It consisted of provisions, clothing, and cash. It will help Bro. C. very much, and I trust those generous hearts that gave will never want. The donation amounted in all to about $86,00; and should we count the keeping of the team and its use anything, it is a trip that cost some one near $100,00, making in all that the church has helped this worthy brother since he thought of coming to this field of labor some $300,00 in about seven months. The above is a low estimate. Those that have thus given, and have helped him in his time of need, may be assured that they live in his memory, and they have his fervent prayers, that the blessing of heaven may rest upon them. He often prays for you all, quite frequently calling by name Bro. and Sr. White, Bro. Uriah Smith, Bro. Cornell, the church at Gilboa, Finley, &c., &c. And while he is satisfied that the church at large seeks to be right before God, he would be in harmony with them. And while the brethren have done so nobly in giving, they will remember that he will still need a little money from time to time. He has a horse and cow to winter, and will want in the family a little every week, such as money alone will buy. Your brother. CHAS. O. TAYLOR.
