Shiawassee Co.

By W. H. Haskins

Since our last report, I have been laboring mostly alone. Bro. Corliss returned to his home, leaving me to carry on the work as the Lord should direct. Meetings were regularly kept up until the roads were so bad we could not profitably continue them longer. My time was then employed in visiting and in private labor. I think it was profitably spent. A covenant was drawn up, and nine names were signed to it to keep all the commandments of God, showing that there are a few in Shiawassee who desire to be ready when the Lord shall come to make up his jewels.

Seventeen subscribers were received for the REVIEW (trial). The people are pleased with it. May the Lord use it as an instrument to bring souls to a saving knowledge of the truth.

April 5 and 6, met the church at Locke, in quarterly meeting. We had a refreshing, and, I trust, profitable, time. There was considerable feeling manifest on the part of the youth, and some older ones, who had grown cold, were reclaimed. Found the church in apparently good working order, striving for the kingdom. God grant that we may all be faithful a little longer, and receive a crown of life.
