REPORT FROM BRO. LOUGHBOROUGH.

By John Norton Loughborough

Since my last report I have completed, for the present, the series of meetings in Allegan, giving, in all, some sixty discourses. The interest and attention for the most of the time were good. A dozen, at least, expressed their determinations to obey the truth, and the brethren in the vicinity seemed to be encouraged to make more earnest efforts to arise with the work of the Lord. Sabbath, Jan. 4, I spoke with freedom at the Monthly Meeting in Otsego, which, notwithstanding the cold weather, was well attended.
On the 11th, was with the Manlius branch of the Allegan church, where, although the weather was very severe, there was good attendance to hear the word spoken. At my last meeting in Allegan, evening of Jan. 12, the Lord gave as good liberty as at any discourse in the whole series.
Of all these meetings, I can say, I have felt more sensibly the help of the Lord, than in any other three months of my life, for which I praise God. I have been spending a few days in Battle Creek, resting, and attending to home cares. Spoke to the people last Sabbath. I am glad to see the advancement that has been made by this church since last fall. Still we feel that we must strive to make still higher attainments. May we so move that the Lord's hand can ever go with us in the work.
