Elders Walter A. Hancock

Elders Walter A. Hancock and George C. Rounds write from Lowell, Massachusetts, December 16, that the first conference of the Lowell branch had just been held by the elders laboring there, assisted by Conference President John C. Tolton, and Elder James B. McQueen, of the Lynn branch. The work in Lowell was opened by the writers on October 11, 1909. They have now a large circle of friends and investigators and five members of the Church, one of whom, Sister Reed, joined the Church sixty-four years ago, when the first branch was established there. She has remained true to the faith through all these years. A hall is engaged in which they hold meetings, and they hope to have a successful campaign during the present winter, and for the coming years.
