Church in Wright

By James Sawyer

From the Church in Wright. At a meeting of the church held May 1, we felt that a report of our standing would then represent us in a backslidden state. Memberships had not diminished during the past year, but spirituality was decreasing. The church had lost five members, and gained seven, increasing our numbers to eighty-one. The amount of s. B. fund pledged for the current year is $300,08.

In view of the sad state of the church, a special meeting was called May 11. Wrongs were confessed, and much was done in putting away evil from our midst. While trying to rise with the message, the church feel the need of help. They desire that some efficient messenger may visit them, and break unto them the bread of life.

JAMES SAWYER, Clerk.
