REPORT FROM BRO. BYINGTON.

By John Byington

I held meeting Sabbath, Feb. 15, at the house of Bro. Briggs, in Vevey, Ingham Co., Mich. Two large rooms were nearly full. The Lord met with us by his reviving Spirit, and all seemed encouraged. This brother is almost alone in this town. He embraced the truth under the preaching of Bro. Frisbie, some three years since.

On first-day I had meeting in Alaiedon, also Monday evening. I had two meetings here in December. This is all the preaching there has ever been by Seventh-day Adventists in this town. There is evidently an ear to hear. I should have remained with them could I have done the work. They request Bro. Cornell to visit them. Bro. H. A. Wetherbee and Bro. Cornelius Smith are the only families of Seventh-day Adventists in the town. Bro. Smith will meet Bro. Cornell at Mason, if he will give seasonable notice, and take him to his house, seven miles. His P. O. is Mason.

Tuesday evening I had meeting in Leslie. Our brethren here are getting more awake, and I hope more united. Some without were with us, which made all Bro. Richmond could seat in his house. I have been kept at home for two months past with a severe cough, and had well nigh concluded my work was done. Through the mercy and goodness of the Lord I am some better. J. BYINGTON.
