Reno and St. Clair Church Labors in Nevada

By Wm. Ings.

Nevada.

RENO AND ST. CLAIR.—In company with Eld. Briggs, I spent March 24-30 with the church at Reno. No special effort was made to create an outside interest, although some interested listeners were present. Some practical duties were set before this church, and there was quite a willingness to act in harmony with the instructions given. All the company present vowed to hereafter deal honestly with the Lord, and return to him his due in tithes and offerings. Thirty-four Signs were added to their club, and sufficient means was pledged to carry on the missionary work for the present year.

From March 30 to April 7, we labored in the interest of the St. Clair church. Here we found an outside interest, every seat being filled. Instruction was given in missionary work. Thirty-four Signs were added to their club, and some other subscriptions were taken. After a Bible reading on tithing, every one pledged to faithfully pay the tenth to the Lord. As the outside interest continued, it was thought best for Eld. Briggs to continue the meetings for a few days longer, while I returned to Reno to finish the work there. Wm. Ings.
