Springport, Mich.

By R. Sawyer

The quarterly meeting of district No. 4 was held at the house of sister Betsey Landon, in Springport, the 23d and 24th of August. Bro. A. S. Hutchins was present, and gave a timely and stirring discourse on Sabbath from 1 Peter 4: 7: “But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer,” after which a social meeting was held.

Met again at 2 P. M., and because some could not remain till first-day, the object of the T. and M. Society was set forth by the Director, followed by remarks from Bro. Hutchins and testimonies from nearly all present. The Spirit of the Lord rested upon us, and truly we had a good season in waiting upon the Lord. There were forty-two present, ten of whom embraced the truth by reading.

August 24, the report of the T. and M. Society meeting held at Potterville, July 6, was read and accepted.
