CHARLOTTE, OWOSSO, AND HAZELTON.—We spent Sabbath and Sunday, December 5, 6, with the church at Charlotte, and the blessing of God was with us. From Charlotte we went to Owosso, where we remained through the week of prayer were read, and each evening after the reading, a meeting was held for the purpose of seeking God and putting away sin. We appealed to parents to get out of the way of their children. Fathers and mothers went to their children, and putting their arms about them, they came forward to seek God together, until nearly all in the church were forward seeking God. We held Bible studies each day in the church school. Nearly all joined in seeking God for light, and it made our hearts rejoice to see so many anxious to become free in Christ. We spoke of the importance of getting the truth before the people around us; and the school closed one afternoon, teachers and students going out with the special number of the Signs. Truly this is a move in the right direction. May these young people continue to hold on to the arm of God by faith.

We next visited the Hazelton church. Sabbath and Sunday, December 26, 27, were good days for us. Nearly all felt their need of a new conversion to God, and took part in the testimony meeting. Some said they had been robbing God in tithes and offerings, and promised to return to the Lord his own. Truly the Lord is willing to help all who will consecrate themselves to him.

We spoke three times in the jail at Corunna. The prisoners gave good attention. Those in charge came into the hall and listened, with interest, and several of the prisoners asked for prayers. One man seemed to get hold of God. Truly the Lord has gone out before us to prepare hearts to receive the message. May God arouse his people who are dying of inactivity. I believe to delay now is fatal. May each one to whom God has given this precious truth arouse to action.
