REV j. w. Walkup our much beloved pastor
| held communion meeting at Mount Zion church,
commencing on June 10Th. He preached two very
| excellent sermons on the Sabbath, showing how
| willing Christ was to save the sinner. Although
| there was 30 additions made to the church the
| members were strengthened and felt in heart that
it was good for our souls that we went up to the
house of our God. The good seed that this dear
brother has been sowing here for years we feel
will bring forth much fruit. Ii may be that his
heart will not be gladdened in this life By seeing
them brought into the fold Of Christ But if not
in this life we know that he will have joy in heaven
with the holy angels For there is joy 10 heaven
over one sinner that repenteth, more than the
ninety and nine just persons that need no repent
