Election Of Oficers.
Each participant in the execution OF
the programme acquitted himself ad.
mirably, entering into the work heartily.
The push and spiritedness manifested
by State Corresponding Secretary Will
cox served as stimulus to accelerate
the work and increase the earnestness
of the workers. The "cause" at Hills.
boro which has been allowed, as it were,
to trail in the dust, formed q nucleus
around which centered a number of
ably written essays and earnest talks.
The District Board in conjunction
with the State Board agreed to shoulder
the responsibility Of completing the
church house begun at Hillsboro, which
stopped short with the foundation from
Q lack Of hearty cooperation.
The State Board employed W. F. Foust
10 take charge Of the pastoral work at
Hillsboro for seven consecutive months,
once per month. The Society felt that
the heroic little band Of disciples wor-
shipping at the county seat were deserv.
ing OF the encouragement to be thus
given them, looking to the budding and
blossoming of their long cherished hope.
viz: the erection OF suitable place of
worship.
As financial agent to visit the respect
i've churches Of the district soliciting
therefrom contributions for aid in work
at Hillsboro, J. w. Ruble was employed
by District Board, excepting in those
churches of which w. F. Foust is pastor,
they being reserved for his canvass, all
monies, etc., received to be reported to
Corresponding Secretary. A summary
of the deliberations reveals an encourag.
ing hope Hillsboro.wsrd, which coupled
with an increased missionary spirit in
the district, sugurs a more hopeful
future in this direction.
