Michigan Labors in Isabella and Osceola Counties
By Albert Weeks
JAN. 17, I left home for Isabella Co., Mich. Sabbath, the 20th, had a meeting with the brethren at Arcadia school-house. A goodly number were out. Tried to show the necessity of retaining our confidence in the good work. On Sunday, Bro. Nelson kindly conveyed me on my way to Vernon, Isabella Co. Spoke on God's memorial of creation, to the friends here. There has been a good work done at this place, by the blessing of God, under the labors of Bro. Corliss. From Vernon, I went to Hersey, Osceola Co., where Bro. C. had commenced meetings under very unfavorable circumstances, as follows: Bro. C. had, previous to going there to hold meetings, engaged the use of the school-house. At the time appointed, Bro. C. was there, ready to commence, but found the house occupied, and himself crowded out. He succeeded in securing a hall, and commenced meetings. Then the minister went from house to house and succeeded in keeping the people away. Thus the way is seemingly hedged up; but we believe the Lord will cause the wrath of man to praise him. May he direct. ALBERT WEEKS.
