Report From Bro. Byington.
By J. Byington
SABBATH, June 3, I met with the church in Convis, and spoke on the important work of overcoming, and the great promise to such, that they should sit down with Christ on his throne. Rev. 3:21. There was a deep interest in the meeting. The 24th and 25th, I attended quarterly meeting at Alaiedon. The church here are maintaining their regular Sabbath meetings, Sabbath-school, and Bible-class; and are punctual in Systematic Benevolence. We had with them the ordinances. They feel the need of greater consecration. July 1 and 2, at Hillsdale. Our meetings were interesting. Some from without were with us on first-day. We had the ordinances which some thought was the best meeting they had had for years. The 29th and 30th I attended the quarterly meeting in Potterville. This was the first time I have met with them in their new meeting-house. Bro. Lamson assisted in the labor of the meeting. This church has very much increased in strength in two years past. There are two elders elected here designed to be ordained at their next quarterly meeting, to be held the last Sabbath in October. Previous to this they have only had monthly meetings on the Sabbath; they now have adopted quarterly meetings to hold two days. By request, Aug. 5 and 6, I was with the church in Bunkerhill. Four who have recently embraced the truth were baptized. May they watch and pray, and the Lord keep them from falling. Our meetings here were interesting; all seemed encouraged. J. BYINGTON.
