Note to Bro. Waggoner.

By L. C. Tolhurst

Myself, with a girl living in our family, are all the Sabbath-keepers in this town. Brn. Butler and Holt raised up a few some ten miles from here. Their teachings have never reached this place. We have lived here five years next fall. My husband is pastor of the Baptist church. It has become a common expression, "I wish one of your ministers would come here, that we might hear what you believe." Curiosity has become general. The town-house could be obtained to lecture in. You could find board at a reasonable price at one of my neighbor's. Columbia is two miles from Columbia Station, on the C. C. & Cincinnati R. R., about twenty miles from Cleveland. If it should be the will of God, may he direct your mind this way. I feel quite sure that quite a church would be formed in this place, and we be made to rejoice in the truth.

Yours in hope.
