→Early alumni memories: added Oliver Landes and Ruth Stiefler
As we look back over twenty-five years of Testimony unto Christ in these parts we cannot help but exclaim, “What Hath God Wrought?” as we see the well conducted Sunday School with a weekly average of 150 persons in attendance, the worship meeting with an average of 100 persons in attendance, and the Gospel meeting with an average of 125 in attendance. A weekly meeting for prayer and Bible study is carried on, with a yearly Conference with an average attendance of four hundred. Brethren, pray for us.
