The Church of Christ assembled
< at Seattle, Sunday, June 10th, send
greeting to the Disciples of Christ
assembled in convention at Sumner,
W.T.
This, our report of the work done
in Seattle since our organization,
will be handed to you by Bro. S.
Denney, who is also our delegate
to your convention.
We organized Sunday, Sept. 24,
1882, with a membership of 12.
Bro. J. W. Osborn was chosen as
elder and Bros. S G. Benedict and
Henry Denney as deacons* We
have since received into our con
gregation 9 members, 2 by immer
sion and 7 by letter, making our
total membership at the present 21
members.
We have a church house partly
. completed, in which we hope to
. meet before long. The lot 34x60
ft. was a present to the church by
Bro. S. Denney, who has also given
us much help in the way of money
and work, and by the help of some
outsiders we have been enabled to
build a house 28x44 ft. in size with
an 18 ft. ceiling, but will not be
able to complete it for some time
as we have about run out of money.
We have regular services every
Sunday, where we meet around the
Lord’s table, and Sunday school
every Sunday morning with an
average attendance of about 25.
We are indebted to Bros. Espy,
Hodges, Sharpe and WaUon for
Bermons preached to us, for which
we express our thank». Hoping to
make a report equally if not better
than any other congregation in'
Western Washington at the next
convention of 1884, we remain
j yours in the one hope. May grace,
peace and mercy abound in all your

We have no house of worship of
