REPORT FROM BRO. CORNELL.

By Merritt E. Cornell

Since I started out this time I have been laboring moderately, yet with some success. Held six meetings at St. Charles, and trust some good was done. I found the church there quite on the background, but they appeared glad to hear and manifested a desire to be helped.

I spent one Sabbath in Midland City, but found the way hedged up for public meetings. I am now holding meetings forty-four miles north-west of Saginaw city; have baptized three and organized a church of ten members. There are several others here who keep the Sabbath, but as yet hold back about uniting with the church.

I shall now turn aside to rest awhile till the meeting-house is ready at Tittabawassee. The friends there have done nobly, and they now have a very commodious and neatly-finished house of worship, nearly ready for dedication. May they all rejoice when it shall be said, “Come, let us go up to the house of the Lord together.” M. E. CORNELL. Jerome, Michigan, Sept. 20.
