A GOOD BEGINNING.

By Editor

We publish this week a report in the Progress Department, which is to us one of peculiar interest, as showing how heartily the company referred to are entering into the spirit of the work, and taking hold of all its branches. A church is organized, though the members are not numerous, and the proper officers are elected; the tithing system is adopted; a T. and M. society is formed; a club of Signs is taken; all provide themselves with the REVIEW and Good Health; a Sabbath-school is organized; a supply of Youth’s Instructors and Bible Lessons is obtained; and all other things necessary to a successful prosecution of the work, as record and class books, even to the penny box, are furnished. We do not believe the minister who thus sets things in order will have occasion to be ashamed of his work; and if the church goes on as we have reason to hope it will from such a good beginning, it will certainly prosper.
