part of the Master’s vineyard would
be of some interest to the readers
of your most valuable paper, we
send the following.

once a month each by Bros. T. M ___
Morgan and E. A. Ladow. Our
numbers have been increased re

and daughters, and Bro. John Wat
son and wife united with us a short
time ago by letter; and while,
doubtless, your town (Monmouth)
will miss them greatly we feel that
they will be a great help to us.
Also Bro. C. J. Wright and wife,
having moved from Spangle and
settled in our neighborhood, united
with us by Jettef of which the fol

This is to certify that our Bro.
C. J. Wright is an able minister of
the gospel and a member of the
church at this place, and is in good
standing as a member, minister and
neighbor; and as a minister we
take great pleasure in recommend

he may chose to cast his Jot as
