ceive Bro. Garfield with warmer well

DUDLEY.
In connection with Rev. j. r. Carpen-
ter, we held series of meetings at Dud-
ley, Noble County, April 2426. Good
congregations were in attendance and
considerable interest manifested 1t has
been our plan that this church shall be-
come part of Belpre circuit. and pros
poets are very favorable. The church
has been much weakened by removals,
deaths, and dissensions; but the field is
a promising one, and under the faithful
labors of Bro. Carpenter we believe it
will grow in strength. We e-organized
the Sunday school, and the Y. P. e. U.
will resume active work. Eight new mem
bers we're added to the Union on Sunday
evening. We call this good missionary
work.
