Labors in Michigan Since Last Conference
By J. O. Corliss
SINCE our last Conference, I have labored as follows:— Sept. 17, went to Antrim, Shiawassee Co., and labored in company with Bro. Lawrence one week. Sept. 24, we went to Williams, Bay Co., and spent another week. Two more embraced the truth at these meetings. Oct. 2, went to Clare County, and stayed one week. Here Bro. L. and I parted; he to return, and I to go to Grand Traverse County. Commenced meetings in Peninsular township Oct. 12, but was obliged to suspend them on account of the sickness and death of our child. Re-commenced meetings Oct. 26, and continued them till Nov. 10, which resulted in four embracing the truth. We found this a hard place to labor in on account of prejudice excited by injudicious labor and wrong influence. We were obliged to seek another field of labor on account of storms and bad roads. Nov. 21, came to Leroy, Ingham Co., and commenced meetings. Have given about forty discourses. Sixteen have embraced the truth thus far, and could some one of experience bestow some labor here, others might be brought in. The interest has been good to the last. Some opposition of an insignificant character has been manifested, which only tended to increase the interest. I shall remain here for a short time to visit and labor from house to house, and arrange for holding meetings in the future. May the Lord bless those who have taken their stand on the truth, and give them firmness, that they may be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. J. O. Corliss.
