From Bro. Wilt.

Dear Editors:-

 On the morning of Dec. 28th, J. W. Crissman and I started for Jefferson Co., Pa., where we were joined by S. G. Smith of Indiana Co., Pa. We went to Bro. Ellenberger’s the same day and met that evening in the Fairview school-house of services. In the morning we resumed our journey and in the evening met with the brethren and sisters near Reynoldsville for worship. We continued the meeting here until the evening of Jan. 2nd.  We met in council with brethren and sisters of this place on the morning of the Dec. 29th, for the purpose of organizing a church, as they are quite of distance from any organized body of brethren.  The business was attended to, we trust, in the fear of the Lord. An election for a deacon was held. Bro. John M. Foltz was chosen. I would say if any of our ministering brethren traveling through that vicinity could make it suit to give them a call and preach for them it would be highly appreciated as they are without a speaker. Brethren desiring to do so, will write either to John M. Foltz, or J. C. Brumbaugh, Reynoldsville, Jefferson Co., Pa.   J. W. Wilt,  Atwood, Pa
