In Their Own Words
“On the 23rd ult., we organized a new branch in Ashton, composed of sixteen members, fifteen in number, exclusive of quite a number of juveniles. Thomas Coltom, jun., was appointed president. After the meeting, feeling a rich outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord, we walked four miles to Bamfarlong, where we called upon a sick brother and administered to him, and he, in the name of the Lord, was made whole and joyous. — Millennial Star 42:23”
