J. BYINGTON

By John Byington

Michigan.

JULY 31. and Aug. 1, I was for the first time with the church at Eaton Rapids. This church was raised up one year ago by Brn. Jones and Corliss. Bro. Lewis, their elder, has built a convenient room adjoining his house in which meetings are held every Sabbath. There was freedom in all our meetings. Two united with the church.

August 7, I was with the church in Colon. This church has passed through severe trials, but has of late increased in numbers, and the members have grown in grace. The Baptists have again permitted them to use their house of worship for meetings. Bro. Schellhouse, who is eighty-two years of age, is their elder, and has been from the beginning. This dear brother is greatly encouraged to see the good work revive once more.
