HOWLAND, Trumbull Co .- In 1828 there arose a church in Howland, supported mostly by the brothers Drake, a noble family of de- voted Christians, and Zephaniah Luce, Lewis Heaton, and other families. It is dear for the faithfulness of its members, and for the labors of all the early preachers; the Campbells, Scott, Bentley, Hayden, Henry, Bosworth, Hartzel, and many others. The church holds the ground still for the Lord.

EARLY HISTORY OF THE DISCIPLES


WARRENSVILLE, Cuyahoga Co .- The Mormons having made inroads


here, A. Bentley, following them up, rescued several, and bap- tized Mrs. Louisa Hubbell, in May, 1831. The church was set up by Wm. Hayden and J. J. Moss. Isaac Moore was a leading member. The brethren of Newburg and Cleveland met with them. Soon Solyman Hubbell and A. T. Hubbell were ap- pointed elders. Moses Warren, baptized at the yearly meet- ing in Newburg, 1835, was a deacon and an elder. In I)e- cember, 1842, a meeting was held by Collins, Alton, and A. S. Hayden, resulting in forty-nine conversions. In September, 1843, a great yearly meeting was held there by Hartzel, E. A. Smith, of Ky., and eleven other preachers. The church flour- ished many years, till it was dismembered by death and re- movals.


WILLOUGHBY, Lake Co .- The members on Waite Hill and about Willoughby were congregated as a church in that town, Sep- tember 28, 1873, under the auspices of the O. S. Miss. Society, R. R. Sloan and A. S. Hayden officiating. Elders, A. B. Green and W. A. Lillie ; deacons, H. H. Hall and H. J. Randall. It began with thirty-nine names. Present number, eighty. It has a good Sunday School, and is flourishing under the charge, as preacher, of A. B. Green.


SULLIVAN, Ashland Co .- The church in Sullivan was established through the agency of Sylvanus Parmly and his amiable family. He was a gentleman of much intelligence and weight of influence in the county. He and his family learned the gospel in Elyria. In the year 1832, having moved to Sullivan, he opened meetings. At his instance Wm. Hayden came ; his singing and sermons won the people, and fourteen were asso- ciated as a church. A fiery opposition, cruel in its perversions of truth, assailed the work, but it was nobly defended by the . intelligent sisters as well as the brethren. Moss, Green


and Moody, heroically seconded their efforts; John Henry held there successful meetings, as did also John Reed and James Porter. In June, 1838, under Bro. Reed's labors, J. P. Mann and Milo Carlton, now of Kansas, with many others, turned to the Lord. Bro. Moody and G. W. Lucy conducted a meeting which resulted in bringing in twenty-seven converts. M. L. Wilcox gave powerful support to the cause. All these brethren and others, especially the first named, watered the seed sown, and on that field many ripe sheaves have been reaped by the Lord of the harvest. Few churches have been more severely tried, yet it still keeps its light burning.

THE GOSPEL PLAN OF SALVATION.


BY T. W. BRENTS.


THE sale of this book has been unprecedentedly large and has called forth the highest commendations of the press and the people.


" If our young men desire to understand the Gospel, and know how to present it to others so that they can understand it, believe it, and be saved by it, they can do no better than to obtain this book, and not only read it but study it."-A. C. Review.


It is a neatly printed and well bound 12mo vol., of 667 pages. Price $2.50. AGENTS WANTED in every State and county.


THE

OF


THE GOSPELS.


Critically and Historically considered, by B. A. HINSDALE, A. M., President of Hiram College. 276 pages, 12mo. Cloth, Extra. Price, $1.25


From the many flattering notices of this work, we select the following : The book is able, and we hope it will be widely useful .- Herald and Presbyter.


This book is well filled with sound argument and criticism, and is of great importance .- Christian Record.


The work is scholarly, the argument clear and forcible, the facts well chosen and arranged .-- The Evangelist.


We have read it with almost unmixed satisfaction, and commend it as a valuable, popular manual, in which the latest materials are gathered and digested, are satisfactorily exhibited, and ably reasoned upon .- Examiner and Chronicle.


Many will thank him for doing the work so well .- The Advance.


It is an able contribution to our religious literature, and will be especi- ally valuable to young men, who have not the original documents from which the author has so judiciously framed this able, forcible, and con- vincing argument .- Pres't Milligan.


The author is at home in the realm. of historical investigation. His tastes as well as his studies, and more than all, his fine powers of descrip- tion and honest perseverance in threading his way through discouraging labyrinths to a satisfactory conclusion, eminently fit him for such a task as he has here performed .- Isaac Errett.


We know nc volume of equal size that contains so many valuable quo- tations from the early Christian writers; or that more thoroughly demol- ishes the various and variable hypotheses on which attempts have been made to reduce the Gospel history to the level of myths, legends, apocrypha, or uncertain stories .- The Interior.


Sent by mail to any address on receipt of the retail price.
