Boston: Rev. E. B. Witherspoon, pastor.
Our church has recently enjoyed a
most gracious season of revival. There
had been manifestations of the Spirit's
work among us,and during the latter part
of July and in August, the pastor had
the pleasure of welcoming two new members.
Then Rev. J. W Rnsphnrnnph
evangelist, an old friend of the pastor,
came to us and preached ten days or
more. Mr. Roseborough had visited our
people before, and was most gladly welcomed
back again. He preached with his
usual earnestness, persuasiveness, and
conviction, and did great good in our
midst. Christians were revived and
strengthened, while the immediate results
of the meeting were thirteen additions;
we expect others to come to us
later. Mr. Roseborough commended our
people for their work on our church
building. He could scarcely realize that
the old church had been transformed into
such an attractive house of worship.
With these repairs about completed, and
the recent addition of twenty-three members,
we feel that the Lord has richly
blessed us. Our pastor is now taking his
vacation, spending September with his
brother, Mr. W. D. Witherspoon, of Nashville,
Tenn.
Marven: After closing the meeting at
Boston, Mr. Roseborough held services
for Mr. Witherspoon at his other charge,
Marvin. For almost two weeks the meeting
was continued and much house-tohouse
visitation done, these two minis

ters driving from twenty to twenty-five
miles almost daily. Much seed sowing
was thus done, besides the pulpit ministrations,
and we believe untold good will
result from this meeting. Twelve new
members were received, many of whom
represented families. Previous to these
services seven new members had been
enrolled. This church is greatly encouraged
at being strengthened by the nineteen
recent additions, and hopes for continued
growth and iisffnTnooa Tko
prayers and gratitude of both these
churches go with Mr. R^spboroagh. May
he long be spared to continue his earnest,
fruitful labors for the Master.
