From Lincoln, Nebr.

 At a council, held in the City Hall, at Twenty-seventh and Holdredge Street, Aug. 19, a move was made to organize a church in the City of Lincoln.  Elders present were brethren Owen Peters and J. L. Snavely.

  The new organization takes the name of :The Lincoln Church.”  The old or original Lincoln church adopts the name South Lincoln church Bro. J. L. Snavely was chosen elder.

  The South Lincoln church retains Bro. Owen Peter as elder.  As the Lincoln church is without a minister, they desire the aid of the Mission Board to give them meetings in the city.

  Our love-feast which was held at Jamaien, in the South Lincoln church, Saturday, Sept. 16, passed off very pleasantly to us.  Bro. Jesse Heckler, of Elmwood, Nebr., and Bro. Jacob Ryan, of Alo, Nebr., Kindly come to assist us, and their labors were very much appreciated, as was shown by the good attention and good behavior on the part of the spectators during all the services of the evening.  Sunday morning we enjoyed the lessons in Sunday school, after which Bro. Jacob Ryan spoke very earnestly.  Bro. Heckler followed with appropriate remarks.
