Green Spring,

By Joseph Clarke

A PRETTY village in Green Creek township, Sandusky Co. Ohio, takes its name from a spring in the vicinity, which attracts much notice.

This spring boils up in a ravine north of the village, supplying a sufficient quantity of water to form a creek upon which a number of mills are situated, which are kept in motion, wholly by the water from this spring.

The water tastes of sulphur, and is of a greenish color, which gives name to the Spring and Creek.

At this place the Seventh-day Adventists, have just held a quarterly meeting; we had a good time.

The meeting was held at Bro. Huber's, and one of his rooms was sufficient to accommodate those who assembled; but fewness of numbers hindered not the Spirit's influence. The church at Green Spring has been in a stupid state, but we hope that a good work has commenced. Oh may they have grace to go forward.

Some of the brethren from Lovett's Grove attended, and their testimonies were pointed, and edifying, and we hope much good was done.

We felt much edified, and returned encouraged. Some eight dollars' worth of books were taken by the brethren.

I hope to have a more full assortment at the Townsend meeting. It was encouraging to see how many inquired for the testimonies, bound, from 1 to 9: I will try to have them by the next meeting.

We as a people ought to read the books more than we do, and all should be supplied.
