Dear Primitive:

  We are still trying to help carry on the work of the Lord by throwing in our mite. On last Friday morning I met brother Henry Brubaker, our elder, in Beatrice, and accompanied him to the brethren and sisters living beyond Exeter, Fillmore county.  Had a few meetings with them. Joseph Brubaker, a speaker in the second degree, moved to them a few months ago.  They wish to organize, so we held an election for two deacons. The lot fell on brethren Horning and Houk.  They chose the name of “Exeter church.”  I think the brethren put to office are worthy brethren. I hope they will labor together in peace and harmony in order that they may prosper spiritually.  This will relieve the ministry of the Beatrice church.  The distanced is great, and as it did not suit either Henry or myself to take a team, brother Ault proposed to furnish the team and take us up. how much easier is it to preach when we have help; and what member is it but can do something, if they have the will?  Brethren and sisters, let us work together with Him, that the cause may prosper.  Archy VanDyke.
