Meetings in Saginaw Co. Mich.

I HAVE just finished my lectures at this place—had fourteen meetings in all. The interest, though not as general as at my last place of meeting, was yet encouraging. On the last evening a vote was called to know how many were decided to keep the Sabbath, and twenty-five stood up. Among them was a supervisor of an adjoining town, who had heard only one discourse. A deep interest is manifested by several who are yet undecided. A good supply of books are taken and the investigation is going forward.
On returning to my last place of meeting, I find that all are standing firm, and some new ones are decided. The books have arrived, and are going like the dew. Some ladies attend every evening, traveling three and a half miles over the bad roads. There does not appear to be any excitement, but a deep and abiding interest. I am more and more convinced that an important field is opening before us here. But I shall not be able to finish the work here before Conference. I am nearly worn out with constant care and labor, and must have a little rest.
