Report from Bro. Strong.
By Philip Strong
I CLOSED my labors in the town of Leighton, April 12. I have labored there in several districts the most of my time since December. Have baptized fifteen, and organized a church of twenty-eight members, which will be known as the S. D. Adventist church of Leighton. Bro. James Pierce was chosen elder, and Ambrose Slade, clerk. Also organized S. B. among them, amounting to $171.60, and $140.00, are pledged to the Michigan State Conference. Others are interested, and attend regularly the Sabbath School and Bible Class and no doubt will embrace the truth if the brethren live up to their calling. The brethren here are beginners and have many things to learn, and desire the labors of the preaching brethren and the care of the Conference. I have been blessed in trying to present the truth to others; for which I feel to praise the Lord. And I wish to get still nearer the Lord, that I may know more of his power, and be able to bear some humble part in the message. PHILIP STRONG.
