GENESEE CO., MICH.

By D. E. Wellman; D. A. Wellman

June 9, by request, we came to Thetford Center, where a Disciple minister was preaching against the Sabbath and law. We reviewed four of his discourses, showing the absurdities of his positions. His efforts to tear down the Sabbath of the Lord have resulted in strengthening the cause of truth here.

June 17, we commenced meetings at Otisville, with a fair attendance, which continued until the introduction of the Sabbath, when it was reduced to one-half the former number. Soon after, the schoolhouse was closed against us, and as no suitable place could be found, we were obliged to close our meetings. Opposition and prejudice were very strong, but four worthy persons have decided to obey the Lord, and quite a number acknowledge the truth who find the cross too heavy. We learn that one more has taken hold of the good work at Twin Lake since we were there. We feel that this is a solemn work, and ask to be remembered in the prayers of God's people.
