Genesee Co., Mich.

By S. H. Lane

At the time of my last report, I was laboring in the township of Mount Morris. Since then, I have introduced the Sabbath question. The result has been favorable.

The Methodists have a strong influence in the vicinity. The minister, from the first, has opposed our positions on the Sabbath question, Nature of Man, and Second Advent. He has given six discourses against said positions, to which I have replied.

I have labored in the neighborhood most of the time for the last eight weeks. The people have been interested from the commencement of the meetings. The congregation has nearly filled the school-house each evening. The result is that many have become quite familiar with the truths of the third angel’s message, who, a few weeks since, were unacquainted with them. Twenty in the neighborhood are now keeping the Sabbath. A meeting for each Sabbath has been established, and a leader appointed. Have disposed of quite a quantity of publications. Obtained eight subscribers for REVIEW. The calls for labor are very numerous, and the people seem anxious to hear. Feel much encouraged to labor on in the cause. Hope to keep humble, that God may crown future labor with success. S. H. LANE.
