REPORT FROM BRO. KELLOGG.
By M. G. Kellogg, M. D.
Perhaps some of the brethren would like to know what I am doing. To such, I would say, that I left Battle Creek Friday, May 29, and came to Allegan to speak to the brethren here on the subject of health. Sabbath, the 30th, I had the pleasure of listening to two very solemn and searching sermons delivered by Bro. Andrews, and one by Bro. Cornell, to the church in Monterey. There had been a good work going on among the people, and especially the children, for some time, and I was advised to defer my lectures for a few days, which I did. I spoke the evening of May 31, to the youth, from Luke xiii, 24. I then spent the week in visiting from house to house, trying to explain the principles of health reform to the brethren. I sometimes gave them a hand in practical cookery, looked after one or two sick, &c. After Bro. and Sr. White had finished their labors in Monterey, June 8, I commenced a course of lectures, and the evening following, also commenced in Allegan, five miles distant, speaking, alternately, an evening in each place; and have continued thus until now, speaking every evening in the week except Sabbath, when I attend the prayer-meeting. I have also spoken to the ladies, in the day-time, once in each place. Also, have spoken once each Sabbath on health from a religious standpoint. My congregation has been good-sized, and very attentive, thus far, and from the interest manifested during lectures, and from an occasional remark I heard, think perhaps I am in the line of duty. The 29th inst., I shall commence a course of lectures in Otsego. As yet I have heard from none other of our churches. If the brethren wish my labors among them, as proposed by the Gen. Conf. Com., I hope they will send in their requests so that I can arrange my work systematically, as order belongs to godliness. Brethren, do you wish my labors? If so, write me at Battle Creek. If you do not wish them, I shall try and find some other work to do for my Master.
