BRO. FORNEY: Our meeting at the Indian Mills school house, near Upper Sandusky, Ohio, closed, February 3rd with an ordinance meeting. This was a good meeting throughout. It was in progress about five weeks. Several were left seeking the Lord in the pardon of their sins. There were 22 accessions to the church. Brother Rockwell preached three times. Brother Smith preached twice, and Brother Mann preached once. This is the first time I ever heard him preach. He is a good reasoner, and is well read. Thanks to those brethren. The friends got up a donation for the writer. God bless them all. We had good order. Pray for us.
