DETROIT.—The work in Detroit is still progressing, and while there is room for great improvement, we have reason to be very grateful for the present prosperity of the work here. The members of the church are well scattered over the city, where we trust they are having an influence for good. The membership of the church is something over one hundred and fifty. We are but a small handful in this metropolis of Michigan, with a population equal to about one sixth of that of the whole State.

At present our family in the mission, including a few boarders, numbers twenty. The Bible workers’ class of seven members is held daily, and is attended with rich experiences in the study of the truth and methods of work.

An effort is being made to carry on all lines that may be effectual in reaching all conditions of life. We are gratified by seeing some results of the work of late, and encouraged by the promise, “Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

Many have sent in fruit and provisions for the mission family, for which we are thankful. Pray for the work and workers in Detroit.
