Cincinnati. Our work here has been going on very nicely.  Three have been baptized since our last report. We have also organized the church,  Our name is to be: ”First Church of the Brethren of Cincinnati.” We have forty-eight members enrolled.  Brethren Charles Knoepfle, Clifford Johnson and Thomas Spangler were elected trustees; Mabel Knoepfle, church clerk and church correspondent; L. M. Denny, “Messenger” agent.  After the organization, Brethren Landon Leaverton and L. M. Denny were called to the ministry and installed.  We have organized our Sunday-school with Bro. Ray Kuns as superintendent.  We had an average attendance of eighty-two at Sunday-school last year, with an average offering of $6.05 per Sunday. We now have 132 enrolled and hope for an average attendance of 100 for the year 1921.  Our Mothers’ Meeting brings a good report also, and was reorganized with Sister Leatherman as president. – Mabel Knoepfle, 4152 Chambers Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 8
