From Weeping Water, Nebraska

The first Love-feast in this part of the country is now pasted and truly it was a feast to us all and one long to be remembered by all present.  In an humble tent 30x40 feet, coved with long hay, about fifty-three members communed, and people who long sat in darkness, were permitted to see the ordinances of the Lord’s house observed in their primitive order.  We trust and believe this occasion will be the means of furthering the Master’s cause in this place.  We organized a church with twenty-four members, with two deacons and one minister, and named it the Weeping Water church.  Brethren, remember us in your prayers and in your travels among the isolated churches.  We are to miles from any other organization. Two were lately received by baptism.  Your unworthy brother.
