Religious Herald: Brother +. W..
| Claybrook, in Lancaster, is doing
enough work for two men, and doing it
, well. His influence is felt and seen far
and near. His people love and admire
him and cooperate with him. but they
, let him work too hard, and do not sup
port him as well as he deserves. My
| first visit to the famed Northern Neck
was to aid this beloved brother at Kill
narnock. 1t was joy to be in his
charming home, and very great pleas
Nare to be associated with such a gifted
and well equipped preacher. The meet
ing. which was held in a hail. resulted
in eleven professions OF faith. The
Baptists at that place have a beautiful
lot, and Notwithstanding they have nc
Organization, they will soon begin the
erection of q conmodious house OF
worship. Kilmarnock is a beautiful
little place. and the people know how
to make visitor feel comfortable. 4"
