Shiawassee Co., Mich.

By J. O. Corliss; W. H. Hawkins

SINCE our last report, we have labored at Shiawassee Town nearly three weeks, giving in all twenty-two discourses, after which we concentrated our efforts at Fremont two and one half miles from the former place, where we have given about thirty discourses. We have also labored in an adjoining district, where we have held about twenty-five meetings.

Some have taken their stand with us, and still the interest is good, which encourages us to labor on and look to the Lord for wisdom to direct us in the great work.

We shall probably remain here for some time yet. Our experience has shown us that we must stay in a place long enough to become acquainted with the people, and labor with them by their firesides. If people do not move out as fast as we think they ought to, we are apt to become discouraged, and think our work is done, when in reality it is but just begun.

We have obtained sixteen subscribers for the Review, and the people are stirred up to search the Scriptures, and see if these things are so. May the blessing of the Lord attend their researches, and cause them to see and obey the truth.
