Having failed to report the labor, as appointed, at Alma, Ithaca, Fulton, Greenbush, and St. Charles, in due season, I shall report no further than to say that I was at my work, and tried, with the help of the Lord, to do it well. We enjoyed in a good degree the blessing of the Lord. In the future, I shall try to report in good time.
May 3 and 4. In company with Bro. Corliss, I visited the church at Williams, Bay Co. With this people, we enjoyed a season of grace that is better felt than told. Especially while attending to the ordinances, the sweet, melting influences of the Spirit of the Lord made it a rich season of grace. Four were added to the church by baptism, as the fruit of the labors by Brn. Corliss and Haskins.
May 17 and 18, visited the company of Sabbath-keepers at E. Saginaw. Organized them into a church, twelve in number; four others under their watchcare. May they prove to be such as shall finally be saved. Our social and ordinance meetings were precious seasons.
May 24 and 25 was the first of my noticed appointments, which was at Greenbush, which I failed to meet, on account of sickness of self and family.
May 29, moved out for Bunkerhill, in a poor condition of health, trusting in the Lord. Stopped at the home of Bro. Titus, at Leslie, Mich., in need of rest.
May 30, met the friends at Bunkerhill. Good attendance. The meeting was well represented from Genoa and Leslie. The Lord was truly with us. All felt that it was good to be there.
Sunday evening, returned to Leslie; stopped at the home of Bro. Richmond, with a troublesome cough and some fever, but with a few days of thorough hygienic treatment, and with a corresponding diet, I found myself getting better.
Much encouraged, I started, June 2, for Locke. Stopped at Leroy station. Disappointed at not finding any one to help me on to the place of meeting, six miles. My letter, asking the favor, had not been received. Found Bro. and sister Haskins at this place, which was a help in time of need. A good interest to hear; they have so little preaching, they sometimes get very hungry for the word. Our social meetings were rich and spirited. One young lady commenced, at this meeting, to seek the Lord. May she find him, to her great joy. I am still gaining strength, which I am resolved to spend in this good work.
