We, your Committee, recommend that the place of holding the next anniversary be left to a vote of this Association, as the Second Church of Goose Lake and First Church of Surprise Valley have both asked for it; also, that Elder L.E. Henderson preach the annual sermon, with H.M. Henderson, alternate, and that Bro. T. B. Vernon write the circular letter.

The past year has been one of considerable prosperity with us as a Church. Elder J. D. Bonner has served us as pastor. Have no Sabbath School or house of worship. Harmony and brotherly love prevail almost unanimously.
R. R. Tandy, Clerk, P. T.
We have been blessed with the preaching of the Gospel by the pastor, Elder L.E. Henderson, who has discharged his duties faithfully. There have been 12 additions to the Church. Have a Sabbath School and prayer-meeting.
