MICHIGAN

By B. Hagle

GLENWOOD.—I came to this place about Dec. 1, 1899, and held meetings in the church known as the People's church. The attendance was good, and the interest continued to increase, the Sabbath attendance increasing from twenty to forty. Sabbath, January 13, was a wonderful day for us. The blessing of God came upon us, and many praised God for deliverance from sin. Sabbath, January 20, the Lord visited us again, with greater power, and shouts of victory ascended to God from men, women, and children. The evening of January 27, at the house of Brother Knaull, near Leonidas, I had the privilege of again meeting with this company. The blessing of God rested upon the children. I read how in some places the first message was proclaimed by the children, and we know that this message is to go with greater power. The Spirit of God has told us that every man, woman, and child who goes through to the kingdom will be giving the message. We read that he has not chosen the great and mighty men, but out of the mouth of babes will his praises be shouted.

Come, brethren and sisters, is it not time for you who are burying your talents in the earth to cut loose, and begin to sound the message of warning? What is done must be done quickly, and the Lord is calling for workers. “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.”

Elder Heber was with me at this place until January 8; he then went to Paw Paw. The interest is also good at that place.

I am of good courage. To the Lord be all the praise. B. HAGLE.
