S di To the Churches for the Twelve Mile - CRiver Association. Dear Brethron: The Twelve '? Mile River Association last year had a missionary in the field, that ~ Cu h worked in the nmountai n section of P the association and from Is report ti did good work in a needy field, so much so they appointed an Cxecu tive commifittee to cai ry on the work this yeoar, consisting of G.M. .k Lynch, S. H. Brown and Rev. B.' SHolder. So far they have not re ceived any funds for carrying oni the work. Thoey apinfted Rev. j1 a. f,. M. Lyda to do one months C, work at a very important station m a. which he has done and got no pay' t ~d for it. e WVill the churches scnd us up $20 is 1l to pay for this work, he writes he cr has dine the work and is very et ct needy. We do not itend to appoint a'd 3. missionary on credit, so it the o churches want the work done they ci must send money in adtvance. n Some think we do not need a missionary and it is for lack of 2 knowledge of the field. There al- 0 ways has been a need of mission in work in the Twelvo Mile River r- Association and always will be. ii- Brethren let us examine ourselves I of anid se5e if this "knowledge of no 1 a1. missionaf'y need'' don't comte from a Want Of missinnaety anWl~ o.. I vord of God or 0le our works vould be iquito diflerent. What nan is there that is so unbusiness iko that would not let his money ut for a hundred fold and yet that s just what God has promised, one hundred fold more in this vorld and in the world to come ternal life." If we believed hat, God's treasury would never ie empty. B. Holder. A Visit Home. Crops and111 Things In Gieneral.
