AT Columbus Creek, Wyo., June 15, a church of eight members was organized by Brother O. S. Ferren. A few days after the organization was effected, a site was selected for a log church building. While engaged in the latter enterprise, an old man of 74 years made application for baptism. As the place was on a creek bank, the brethren were called together, and the candidate was baptized—and added to the church. These brethren have already employed a teacher for a short term of school. From here Brother Ferren went to Sheridan, forty miles distant, where two candidates were baptized and added to the church.
