To the Brethren in Iowa.
By W. H. Snook
WE started a delegate to the conference at Fairview, but he was compelled to return on account of poor health. This we deeply regret. We are at a loss how to proceed. We wish to say to the brethren in Iowa that we desire to cast in our mite with them and help to raise up the standard of truth, and advance the cause. We deeply regret the present state of affairs in Southern Iowa, but hope there is yet a remnant who will learn wisdom, and heed the warning of the faithful and true Witness. There are twenty-two members in the organization here. Fifteen are carrying out systematic benevolence according to "the plan," amounting to about ten dollars per month. As we have failed in attending the conference, we shall acquiesce in the proceedings of the conference. We wish to unite our efforts with the common interests of the cause in Iowa.
