Paulding and Uniopolis, Ohio.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

I CAME to Paulding, April 25. Spoke twice in the court-house to a few. A goodly number of Sabbath-keepers came in on Sabbath and Sunday. I explained to them the nature of our work and the duties of our people. Nineteen gave in their names to form a church. Four were baptized.

The brethren obtained a full outfit for the Sabbath-school, including a club of sixteen Instructors; they also procured all our blank-books for the various branches of the work, and a set of Sister White's works. There are over thirty Sabbath-keepers in this place, mostly raised up within the last year by Bro. Rupert's labors.

I came to Uniopolis, Monday, April 28. This is a most lovely country, very rich and finely improved. A company of over a dozen Sabbath-keepers have settled here. Some have embraced the truth here. They have a Sabbath-school and regular meetings, and have promptly adopted the tithing system, as every Christian should do. Hence I found their money ready, and no complaining. All business was laid aside and we spent all of Tuesday in meetings of various kinds. I baptized four, and organized a church of eight.

We had the pleasure here of meeting Eld. Hamilton Hull, of the S. D. Baptists, who remained all through the meetings.
