East Michigan

By E. K. Slade

The work in the East Michigan Conference is onward. Encouraging reports are coming in from the laborers in the field. Following our good State meeting held at Ithaca in March, Brethren C. N. Sanders and P. C. Hayward carried on a series of meetings, resulting in several taking a stand for the truth. Elder Wm. Ostrander, assisted by two Bible workers, is just taking up the work in Saginaw. This is an important field, and let us pray for the success of the work there. The work in Detroit is advancing encouragingly. From time to time souls are deciding for the truth in that large city. Brother O. F. Butcher is in charge of the work in Detroit, having the assistance of one Bible worker.

Meetings were held at Mt. Forest by Delmer P. Wood and E. R. Lauda the latter part of the winter. The Lord blessed their labor, and sixteen souls are waiting at that place for baptism. A good work is being done in Jackson and Flint. Good reports are coming in from the churches.

The Sabbath-school and church-school work throughout the entire conference is well organized, and most effective work is being done. Efforts to organize the young people of the conference have met with some success, and a good work is started. An army of young people is waiting to be trained for the work in this conference. Plans are being made to provide for this need.
