Meetings in Shelby, Michigan
By M. E. Cornell
BRO. M. E. Cornell writes from Shelby, Mich., July 17th, 1854:—“Yesterday there were more than 1200 persons out and heard two discourses. At 5 o’clock there were about 800. I should think that there were more than two thirds of the assembly deeply interested. The interest was manifested by their purchasing $14.00 worth of books. Some loads came 12 miles. Whole communities hearing of our meetings sent an agent to invite us to visit them with the tent. We have had many calls to go in different directions. Notwithstanding it is in harvest time, the most busy time in the year, there were about one hundred persons out upon the Sabbath. Next Sabbath there probably will be many more; and next First-day there will be more than can get into the tent. Some think the number will be doubled.”
