Sunderlinville, Pa.

By B. L. Whitney

In company with Brother J. G. Saunders I visited this place December 7-15, for the purpose of organizing the company of believers here into a church. The company here were brought into the truth through the labors of Brother Saunders during the past summer. We organized a church of eighteen, fifteen of whom I had the pleasure of burying with Christ in baptism. The scene at the baptism was one of the most pleasant I ever witnessed. The best of order prevailed, and the exercises were characterized by the presence of the Spirit of God.
An elder was ordained, and all the other officers were duly elected. By vote, they adopted the tithing system as recommended by the General Conference Committee, and every member joined the tract society. They have an interesting Sabbath-school.
