BRO. SNOOK.

By Editor

Our faithful and beloved Bro. B. F. Snook has a wife and two children, and has never owned a home. He says—
"There is a good situation here [Marion, Iowa], that I can get if I can be helped. The house is large and roomy, very convenient, with a good well, cellar, &c. It has two beautiful lots. Is fronted with large locust trees, and surrounded by about thirteen nice bearing apple trees. It has a good fence. It sold about a year ago, so I was informed, for thirteen hundred dollars. The owner offers it to me for five hundred. The brethren generally say it is very cheap. Bro. Weaver was down and looked at it. He says it will make us a good home, and is very cheap. I have counseled with the brethren about it rather than trust my own judgment. If I can get it I shall be satisfied to remain here."
Those who know Bro. and Sr. Snook, love them. We can recommend them both in the highest terms to any church that can appreciate faithfulness, intelligence, devotion, and that which is lovely. They should have a place that they can call "our house." The brethren in Iowa can obtain them a good home if they try. But we are done appealing to eastern brethren to get western ministers homes, when western brethren are doubly able to raise it for themselves, than eastern brethren are to do it for them. We will give $25 toward getting Bro. Snook a home, provided the brethren in Iowa and elsewhere, those who wish to join them, will promptly raise the $475, to make up the required $500. Or, we will find a half dozen churches in Michigan, and further east, either of which will get Bro. S. a home. We have but few leading men like Bro. S. and the brethren prize them very highly. The brethren at Wright, Mich., would esteem it a great pleasure to settle such a family with them. We know both parties, and therefore speak with confidence that such an arrangement would please both the church and Bro. S. and family. We wait to see what will be done.—Ed.
