Note from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
OCTOBER 15 to 19, I was with the church in Owosso. I spoke three times to them. Our social meetings were good, and all seemed encouraged. The 19th, Bro. A. Avery took me to Locke, where, with the church, I had three meetings, and celebrated the ordinances. The 22d, Bro. M. Avery and wife, with their team, brought me to Alaiedon, where we spent the Sabbath, and remained till the 27th. I had six meetings with them, and the ordinances. The greater part here are holding fast the faith. They are not rich, but have spent nearly two thousand dollars in erecting a house of worship which will be ready for use in a few weeks. They request Bro. and Sr. White to attend the dedication some time between the 20th of December and the first week in January. If Bro. Matteson should be at liberty from other labors, and would attend, they will pay his expenses. If either or both can attend, they wish it noted in the REVIEW soon. We spent all our time here visiting from house to house, and praying with families. At our last meeting we had the ordinances. The 27th, Bro. Briggs brought me to Leslie, where, at 2 o'clock P. M., we had a business meeting for the Jackson church; also social meeting in the evening. Six were added to the church. I leave this morning for Gratiot Co. J. BYINGTON.
