			Columbia and Ordway

	This charge is composed of the two above named towns. The class at
Columbia was organized in October, 1882, by Rev. W. H. Ware, with 15 members,
and at present there are 24 members. At Columbia we have no church edifice, but
a lot worth $200. The Ordway class was organized during the summer of 1882 by
Rev. O. A. Phillips, and had ten members; at present there are eight members.
During the fall Rev. A. R. Boggs, then pastor, led the people forward to begin
the erection of a church. This was completed under the present pastor, Rev. W. H.
Irwin, and is worth $1,700.
