Northern Michigan.

By James G. Sterling

MARCH 19, I went to Deerfield, Mecosta County. Found a few Sabbath-keepers here laboring under discouragement. I gave them fourteen discourses. Ten persons pledged themselves to resume their duties as followers of Christ, and to endeavor to sustain public worship and to bring up their Systematic Benevolence which had been neglected for the year past.
From here, I went to Lakeview, Montcalm County, where I gave nineteen discourses. Many persons here admit that we have the truth on the subject of the Sabbath, but are satisfied to plead the inconvenience of obedience. Two persons pledged themselves to give God their hearts and obey all his commandments.
April 25, returned to Deerfield, and found the brethren and sisters in good spirits. Here, I met Bro. Strong. Through his efforts, a tract society was formed, and S. B. more fully arranged. My health beginning to fail, I returned home May 1. I hope soon to be able to resume my labors again.
