CHAS. STRATTON

From Bro. Stratton.

MAY 9, I left our home in Maine to attend the General Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists in Battle Creek. Arrived one week before the Conference assembled, which gave me the privilege of visiting the Health Institute, and as my health was not good, of receiving some treatment and instruction, which have proved very beneficial to me. Here I formed a very agreeable acquaintance with Drs. Lay and Lamson, and many of the sick that were here from the different States. Never shall I forget the kindness that I received from the officers of this Institute.
The meetings during Conference week were of great interest to me. I was enabled to see some of my faults, and confess my sins before God and before my brethren and sisters.
June 1, in company with Bro. Canright, went to Chicago, and from there I went to the southern part of Illinois, to visit friends. Found most of them opposed to present truth. Stayed two weeks and labored with them, and distributed tracts. On the 16th, took the boat at Quincy for McGregor, Iowa, and on the 22d, arrived at Bluffton, Iowa, in the north-eastern part of the State, where I am now holding meetings, hoping to do some good.
