J. BYINGTON

By J. Byington

Michigan.

I was last Sabbath with the church in Oceana County near Greenwood station, six miles south of Whitehall. Quite a good number of brethren came together from different towns. This is in the pine woods, where present truth has been preached but a short time. I believe Bro. Strong was the first here to present the third angel’s message. Our meetings were interesting. All seemed to have a mind to work. Here I met with Adolphus Palmer and wife, with whom we formerly met at Buck’s Bridge, N. Y., some fourteen years since. They yet keep the Sabbath, but have done but little here to advance the truth. They now seem to have a mind to work. Oh! that all might feel the danger of a lukewarm state when so much is to be done. Here also I met with Bro. Newman (formerly of Windsor, Eaton Co.), who is elder of this church. I felt blessed in my visit to this place, and hope to spend more labor with them.
