ITO whom 1t may concern: Rev. Irving A.
Searles commenced labors with the Church Of
CHRIST In this place April 10Th, 1878. At the
time there was no religious interest in the
churches, and at first the congregations would
not exceed twenty-five and from that time
until the present there has been steady in
crease and for the last few months all the seats
and standing room in the house has been occu-
pied, and on some occasions many have been
obliged to go away; and this result has been
accomplished by the plain, forciLle manner go
peculiar In Mr.. Sesrles in presenting the simple
gospel Of Christ.
"Mr. Searles has conducted himself az be-
comes the character OF a Christian minister,
and We most cheerfully and heartily commend
him to the confidence OF the brotherhood wher-
ever he may go and wherever his lot may be
care. We much regret to paIt with him, both
az Christian brother and az q member of 60
ciety but influences over which we have no
control have in his estimation made it expedi-
emit. a. DUNwELL,
