Blue Mound, Tex. - Bro. K. G. Tennison came to us Aug. to and preached two very interesting sermons. Aug. 14 Bro. A. Molsbee, from Nocona, Texas, came to us and stayed until Aug. 20. During that time he delivered live very interesting discourses. Two dear souls came out on the Lord's side. Saturday. Aug. 17, we met in council at Bro. P. K, Bowman's for the purpose of organizing a church. Everything passed off very pleasantly. We have ten members including two deacons. We chose Bro. Molsbee for our elder. There are but few of us but we hope the Lord will add many to our little band. We have a union Sunday school. It is in good working order. Lizzie Bowman, Saginaw, Tex., Aug. 20.

Saginaw. – The Eight day Bible term, held by Eld. I. H. Eby and wife, during the winter, is showing forth good results.  The goal work was continued through the winter by home talent. At our last council, March 25, the name of this church as changed from “Blue Mound” to ”Saginaw.” Bro. A. W. Vaniman and wife presented their letters. We now have two ministers at this point. Our Mission Board is receiving more calls than we can fill.  The General Mission Board have furnished us means, but many calls can not be met for want of workers. – F. K. Bowman, March 27.

Saginaw church met in a business meeting Jan 16. Several of members have moved west, which made It necessary for us to reorganize and elect officers. Bro. S. Wine was chosen church secretary and treasurer, also as a member or the building committee. Sister E. Pierson was chosen missionary solicitor and church correspondent. It was decided to hold members meetings at the different homes of the members in Ft Worth on the third Sunday of each month. We will also make an effort to raise money to move our church building to a suburb of Ft. Worth, In order that it can be reached by street cars. All of the members have moved away from in and around Saginaw, hence no more meetings will be held there for some time to come. If at all. It was decided to meet on the third Sunday of February, at the home of Bro. Pierson. Bro. Derrick and Bro. Tennyson, our elder, will preach for us. We now have two brethren and eight sisters in our Ft. Worth church who reside here.—M. C. Wrightsman, Ft. Worth, Texas, Jan. 19.
