Isabella Co., Mich.

By J. O. Corliss

HAVE just finished a course of lectures in the town of Vernon, about two miles south of the F. & P. M. R. R. The country is very new and thinly settled, consequently the attendance has been small, yet the interest to hear has been good. Have given only sixteen discourses, condensing the subjects as much as the circumstances would admit, and up to this time eight have decided to obey God by keeping all his commandments. Others are investigating. May the Lord help them to lay aside worldly interests in making their final decision, and do it in the fear of God.

Sold and gave away about eight dollars’ worth of books, and obtained three subscribers for the REVIEW.

The friends have also handed to me in money nine dollars.

After the holidays, I intend to commence a course of lectures at Mt. Pleasant, the county seat of Isabella County.

By request of the brethren here, I would ask if Bro. Lawrence or Van Horn could not make it convenient to come and labor a week in this place to take the necessary steps to organize a church. May the Lord direct my footsteps in the path of duty. I desire to work humbly before him, and ever be found faithful in his cause. To this end I desire the prayers of God’s people.
