OHIO

By Dudley Marvin Canright

New Antioch.—Have just closed a ten-days’ meeting at this place. Quite a number were present from Leesburg. We had freedom in preaching, and labored largely for the benefit of the believers, taking up the subjects of health reform, spiritual gifts, missionary work, etc. All turned out well, and gave good attention to the subjects presented. The church has improved very much since we were here last spring, and the Sabbath-school is now about as good as any in the State. Three young women made a good profession, and were baptized. Two united with this church; the other will join at Leesburg.

The brethren greatly feel the need of a meeting-house, as they now occupy a school-house. Trustees were elected, a building committee was appointed, and several hundred dollars was subscribed toward a house. We hope it will be finished before next winter. We feel greatly encouraged about the little society here, and expect a good future for them. Bro. Gates assisted me here.

The Leesburg church are also planning for a meeting-house. We see no reason why the southern part of Ohio is not as good a field of labor as any part of the State.
