REPORT FROM BRO. BYINGTON.

By J. Byington

SINCE Conference I have met with the churches of Jackson, Convis, Greenbush, Ithaca, Seville, Alma, Burlington, Otsego, and Windsor. Bro. Cornell filled my appointments at Hillsdale and Ransom Center. In meeting with the above-named churches, I have felt blessed while talking to them the precious truth that so much concerns us in this day of peril. At most of the above appointments I have requested brethren to give notice or report the interest of the meetings. In every place I have found good and tried ones who are practical reformers. Health reform and dress reform are becoming matters of deep interest. Some are slow to move, but I trust with a little patience, all will be united.

I am now at Burr Oak. We had meeting here yesterday, Aug. 17, and the Lord's supper and washing the saints' feet. We felt it good to be here. I leave to-morrow for South Bend. The first quarter of the Conference year is now past. May the Lord direct us to future labor. My strength has held out far beyond my expectations. A brother said to me a few days since he did not expect to see me alive now. My lungs are weak and my cough somewhat troublesome. Will the Lord be pleased to raise up strong men in Israel to do the work. J. BYINGTON. Burr Oak, Mich.
