Longhope, N. C. — We were organized into a church in 1890 with about twelve members. Now we number twenty. Until recently we belonged to Flat Rock, N. C. We are financially poor. Oar church house is completed sufficiently that we can hold our meetings in it. We have organized a Sunday school, and are having a good school. Bro. J. H. Miller was with us the third Sunday in May and preached a very interesting discourse, and also baptized one young sister, fourteen years of age,—the daughter of the writer. Bro. Henry Sheets was also with us the third Sunday in June and baptized another sister. Thus the work of the Lord is moving on in the South. We would be glad to see something from every church in the Brotherhood through the Gospel Messenger. We ask an interest in the prayers of all the dear brethren. — Marion Prather, June 25.
