Fair Grove, Cedar Dale, and Vassar.—I remained with the Fair Grove church a few days after my last report. Several others started in the service of God. Two of those that had made a profession during the first of our labors there were baptized. Others will follow in the ordinance soon.
I stayed over only one Sabbath with the church at Cedar Dale, Sanilac county. On account of the very bad roads, held only one meeting, yet one accepted the truth and was baptized. It seems to me that labor bestowed here at some favorable time would not be lost. Tried to encourage the friends by visiting from house to house. Sold several dollars' worth of books.
On my way back to Tuscola county, I called at Brown City. There are two keeping the Sabbath here. The prospect is not favorable for labor.
Am now holding a few meetings at Vassar. The Lord is good, granting us his blessing continually. May we ever trust him implicitly. March 15. ALBERT WEEKS.
Covert, March 20.—Closed my meetings at Decatur Feb. 20. Met with the brethren at Hartford Feb. 25, and enjoyed a precious season with them. From there came to Covert, and commenced a series of meetings March 10. Have given twenty-two discourses, to congregations ranging from fifty to one hundred and fifty attentive listeners. The interest here is excellent. Twenty have already signed the covenant, and we hope for more. We have held two Sabbath meetings, which were well attended, and many heartfelt testimonies were borne in favor of the truth. Have also organized a Sabbath-school, and sent for ten copies of the Instructor, with lesson books and hymn books. Gave the last discourse last evening to a well-filled house. At the close of the service I took an expression of the house to see if they wished me to return. Nearly all voted in favor of it, and many expressed regret that the meetings must close now. Therefore I shall feel it my duty to return here immediately after the close of the Ministerial Association. R. C. HORTON.
