Pontiac, Birmingham, and Holly.—The company of believers in Pontiac are still holding fast to the truth. Had a good meeting with them, June 22. Nearly all the brethren from Rochester were present, which helped our meeting much.
The brethren at Birmingham are of good courage. Meetings were well attended. They are anxious for another course of lectures, which, if held at a proper time, might result in additions to their number.
Our meetings with the Holly church were held at Fenton. The brethren are very much scattered, yet nearly all were present. On Sunday, our meeting was held in Seminary hall. Had an attentive congregation. Dist. No. 10 is considerably in debt to the State society. The brethren of this church (though not in debt themselves) pledged to bear their proportion of this debt, that their tract society may be relieved from embarrassment. It is to be hoped that every church in this district will do likewise. Enough money was donated to pay for a set of Sister White's circulating library.
Fenton is a town of three thousand inhabitants. There is quite an interest to read our publications. Several copies of Good Health are taken here. The way is apparently opening for a successful effort with the tent at some future time.

Flint, July 3.
Whitewater, Tent No. 6, June 30.—We pitched our tent in this community, six miles south of Elk Rapids, for the purpose of holding a few meetings with those who embraced the truth last winter. We have held meetings here for two weeks. God has blessed our effort. Not only have our brethren here been encouraged and strengthened, but those who met with us at our general meeting, June 21, 22, shared the same blessing, and returned to their homes fully determined to live nearer to the Lord.
Eld. Fargo was with us at our general meeting. Sunday, the 21st, twelve were buried in baptism, in the clear water of Elk Lake. One of these was a lady who for eight years had opposed the truth. Last night six took their stand with us, three of them being men nearly eighty years old.
We believe that our labor here has not been in vain. We now go to seek a new field, trusting the Lord to direct and bless us.
