Church in West Plains

By J. Banks

From the Church in West Plains. In our last Conference report we had nine members. One has since been removed by death, two moved away, and one disfellowshipped, and one new convert has commenced to keep the Sabbath. Last October we met to renew our pledge for one year from that time, and it amounted to about $24 per year. Of said sum we pledged $12 to Conference.

Although a small branch of the vine, we do hope we shall be remembered and cared for. We hope some of our messengers will call and see us. I think our children can be profited much by a visit from some of them. We are striving to do the best we can to overcome and stand on mount Zion. We ask your counsel and watchcare. Pray for us, that we may live out the faith, and never bring a wound upon this good cause.

J. BANKS, Elder.
