Notes
Message
on
postcard
reads:
I
came
up
this
evening
to
attend
the
communion.
Large
crowd.
They
love
a
splendid
church
here.
Bro.
Rench
used
to be their
pastor.
I
had
never
met
Bro.
Kimmel
before.
He
is
their
present
pastor.
His
wife
has an
uncle
living
near
Curryville
-
James
Nicodemus.
They have the
same
hymnal
as at
Bunker
Hill.
Those
old
familiar
hymns
made
me
homesick.
I
almost
felt
myself
back
on the
circuit.
