JOSEPH BATES

By Joseph Bates

Michigan.

Since my report from the harvest field, and the General Conference at Battle Creek, Jan., 1872, I have been in one continued protracted meeting. Bro. and Sr. White spent a Sabbath and Sunday with us. The Lord worked with them and for us. Thank his holy name.
Bro. Littlejohn then commenced and labored with us most faithfully for two weeks, since which the church has been gradually rising, our meetings increasing in interest, both the Sabbath and social meetings. Last evening our prayer meeting was more than usually full, and almost all bore decided testimonies. The Lord by his Spirit was there. It was a divinely peaceful, happy season.
We feel encouraged to watch and press forward to the ripening of the harvest of the earth.
