Description
Eddy reports how much the Lawrenceburg church has grown. 600 people wish to attend the services but there is only room for 375. The congregation has raised $7,000 to build a new church during the summer. Eddy also mentions that the "Church South have showed their love for their old friends in the North...especially in Wood County, Virginia, by indicting Uncle Charley and the Western Christian Advocate! What an argument, this, to enable them to carry out the benevolent system of perpetual slavery, which they have so zealously promoted for two years past." Eddy wishes to leave the Indiana Conference and return to this former circuit (old Miami) in the Ohio Conference and asks Finley's advice on the matter. Abstract Number - 817
