Dedication at Corsica, Ohio.
By A. O. Burrill
According to appointment, the dedication took place Sunday, Dec. 7. Although the roads were very muddy, the house was well filled. The building is 28x46 feet, with appropriate tower, and is a model of neatness throughout. It cost, including a fine chapel organ, $1,832.31, all of which has been provided for by this society. Four were baptized, and several more took their stand for the truth, and still there is an interest to hear. Some more than $100 was pledged for the T. and M. work. We thought this commendable, considering how freely they had given for the church. This is a step in the right direction. Now that they have opened the fountain of benevolence, and have experienced the blessings that attend the cheerful giver, they will need to continue their liberalities. “How strange it is that these Adventists get along without any discord; it isn’t so with others,” was frequently heard by our brethren while the building was in process of erection. Although this church is so young, and has been left without any preaching, there has not been a jar during the building of the house. Elds. Canright and Mann, and visiting brethren from Newark, Bellville, and Waterford, were in attendance. Bro. C. remains to follow up the work. If this church will remember to carry out the solemn vow made to dedicate themselves anew, together with their house, it will be well-pleasing to God, and they will bear much fruit to his glory. In conclusion, as I look over the work that has been wrought for this people in the past few months, I am led to exclaim, What will not our God do for us, when we work in harmony with him? May they so walk and work for the dear Saviour, that in the coming kingdom they may stand among the redeemed. Thus close my labors in Ohio for the present.
