ALPENA, GRACE, AND ONAWAY.—
By M. C. Guild
The Lord has blessed me in taking about two hundred and fifty orders for “Christ’s Object Lessons” since January 1, in connection with my other work in and near Alpena. I have had precious experiences while selling this book. Most of the churches I have visited have taken a goodly number, and those who have gone out with the book have received a blessing. June 20 Elder W. R. Matthews and I went to Grace, Presque Isle County, and there organized a church of fifteen members. Church officers were elected, and union and harmony prevailed. One young man entered the service of the Lord, and seven went forward in baptism. The following week I baptized nine persons at Onaway. Most of these were young people, several of whom gave their hearts to God during the past year. A church-school building has been erected one and one-half miles south of Onaway, and a successful school is now taught there by Sister Mabel Jeffries. I trust that this school will be a source of great blessing to the brethren and sisters at Onaway. At Alpena Sister M. M. Faulkner is doing faithful Bible work. She has several interested readers, among whom are some of the best people of the city. She uses “Christ’s Object Lessons” in finding readers, and she says that this is the best way to introduce Bible work that she has ever tried. Brother Fred Brink and his family and myself and family are now at Long Rapids, where we have just pitched our tent for a series of meetings. We ask the prayers of all for the work in this place.
