Delta and Jay, Mich.

By M. E. Cornell

DECEMBER 1–11, I gave thirteen lectures at Delta, Mich. The house was crowded most of the time and the interest good. As near as could be ascertained, about fifteen had fully decided to keep the Bible Sabbath, but the investigation was still going on, and a good prospect of others' taking a stand for the truth.

Urgent calls from other places decided me to leave Delta, and Bro. Lamson remains to follow up the work.

I made a short visit to my father's, and friends in Tyrone, and spent the Sabbath very happily at my sister's. Since I saw her two years since, she had embraced the truth and united with the church at Holly. How rejoiced was I to find that the subject of so many prayers had at last come out whole-hearted on the present truth.

The week of the holidays being unfavorable to commencing in a new place, I turned aside to visit the church at Jay, and have had thirteen meetings. The interest has been growing, and good is done. Some who had been discouraged are revived, and a better prospect is before them.

Just before the Sabbath we were agreeably surprised by the arrival of Bro. and Sr. White. Their testimony during the two days of their stay has removed much prejudice in the community, and greatly encouraged the believers.

By request I remain to follow up the interest this week.
