Flint, Mich.

By D. H. Lamson; E. R. Jones

Our tent-meetings commenced here Friday evening, June 11, and have continued without intermission till the present time, nearly four weeks. The attendance has been good all the time, and we think a healthy interest is awakened. The attendance has sometimes reached many hundreds. Some, however, have ceased to come since the Sabbath has been introduced. We have had two Sabbath meetings, both of which were largely attended. At the last one, a class was formed, consisting of twenty-three members. This is a nucleus around which we hope to gather many more. We do not think we shall be able to leave the city this summer, but shall be under the necessity of moving the tent probably twice, so that all the people may hear. We have as yet seen but few from the country; and we find it costs extra effort to arrest the attention in so large a place, this being a city of about 10,000 inhabitants. We have sold about twenty-five dollars' worth of books.

We hope to be remembered in the prayers of God's people, that his work may prosper in our hands. We shall be happy to see any of the friends of the truth from the surrounding churches at our Sabbath meetings, as long as the tent remains here. We have thus far been much cheered by their presence.
