Corsica, Ohio.

By A. O. Burrill

Our meeting at Bellville closed very encouragingly last Wednesday evening. Thursday we returned to Corsica, after an absence of five weeks. Harmony and love prevail. The Sabbath-school is proving a grand success, as well as the Sabbath and evening prayer-meetings. They enjoy these meetings and can hardly wait for the Sabbath to come. On the Sabbath we celebrated the ordinances for the first time in this new church, and the Lord came very near. Sunday six were baptized, and joined the church.

The Methodist minister preached three sermons against our views. Sunday afternoon and evening we reviewed him. The Methodist minister's efforts amounted to almost nothing. On the whole, his effort will greatly help our cause in this place. At the close of our review we repaired to the water, where six more were buried with their Lord in baptism, making twenty-six that have come into the church organization. There are still others who will be baptized and come into the church at our next quarterly meeting.
