From Live Oak Church, Texas.

  Bro. S. S. Mohler, of Missouri, and H. Gephart, of Texas, came to us Dec. 11, and preached seven sermons. On account of bad weather, the attendance was small. On the 17th we met in council and organized a church of six members. A. S. Moore was chosen deacon, and the writer was chosen to the ministry.. John Wise, of Kansas, is our elder. We feel thankful to the brethren for visiting us so often, and laboring so faithfully to establish a church here for God and his people.  We invite all brethren to immigrate here, who are willing to work for the cause of Christ.  We need some good minister to locate with us, in order that the cause may prosper more rapidly.  All brethren desiring information address the writer.   J. S. Buckley.
