Superintend The Work

(ey The Rev. J. N. Helm, Cor Sec.)
At meeting held in the parlors
of the Vine Street Church Of Christ
on Jan. 2. 1t was arranged for the fif.
teen Churches of Christ in Knox Co.,
to unite in a simultaneous revival to
begin on Jan. 13, or as near that date
as possible.
There were present representatives
from nearly all the churches, and a
county organization was formed and
the following officers were elected:

Vice President--L. A. bell, Utica.
Secretary J. M. Helm, How.

Rev. l.. !. Mercer, one Of the State
Evangelists, has been secured to su.
erintend this revival work. aided by
several very able ministers from 9th.
er parts of the state, so that every
one of the fifteen churches will be
reached and benefited by the cam.
paign.
We had hoped to secure short
history OF each church, but we have
been unable so far to get It. A short
history of the disciples of Christ I'm
Knox county would be very interest.
Ing to many. but the secretary has
no way to secure Il, as there were
but few records kept and most of
these lost. while nearly all of the
pioneers and their children are dead
SO this early history, however inter.
esting II may have been, IL lost. BE.
