TENNESSEE

By C. Owens

Cross Plains.—Jan 10, 11, I met with the brethren and sisters at Cross Plains. They are all of good courage. We had a good meeting on the Sabbath. The Spirit of the Lord was with us while we celebrated the ordinances. I have never seen a greater degree of brotherly love shown than the members of this church manifest to one another and to strangers who may come among them.

The Sabbath-school now numbers ten members. They have all the appliances needed in carrying on a school. The penny contribution has been adopted. Many not of our faith speak well of this school.

Sunday a tract society of six members was organized, and a small supply of tracts was placed in the hands of the librarian. Every family in this church takes the Review and Instructor, but only one takes Good Health. I think if all the members of this society are faithful and active, much good will be accomplished. I spent one week here, and canvassed the place; and I found the interest good. I shall return before long, and canvass thoroughly. C. OWENS.
