By C. E. Leland

The work in District 12 is prospering, although we have not done so much this season as last, owing perhaps to our not having a tent, and being obliged to hold meetings in halls and schoolhouses. In summer the people do not attend services held in such places as well as those conducted in a tent.

After closing the tent effort last season, I worked in Hayes, visiting and holding Bible readings, and also assisting in the building of a new church, which, although not completed, is now being used for meetings. Later, meetings were held in a hall in Charlevoix, which were well attended, and were continued every night until time to attend the State meeting. As a result of that effort, six adults are keeping the Sabbath and a number of others are investigating.

During the last summer Brother J. Irwin and I held meetings at Clarion, in a hall, but were obliged to close them to attend the camp-meeting. Prejudice was strong, and the attendance small, but we hope that the seeds sown were not all lost.

Our work is not done here, but we are ready to labor in any field where the Lord may call us.
