By H. M. Kenyon

Michigan.

May 16 and 17, was with the friends at Quincy, Branch Co. Our meetings were encouraging. A spirit of union exists among them. Six were baptized. it was thought best to postpone organization until some future time. They have purchased a lot in the central part of the village, and have the stone on the ground for the foundation to a house of worship. The house will be built of brick, 28 by 40.

May 23 and 24, at Napoleon, Jackson Co. Here I found five keeping the Sabbath as the result of my meetings three miles north of Napoleon in April last. Three were baptized. Organized a church of fifteen members.

May 30, I was with the friends at Kendall, Van Buren Co. All that embraced the truth here the past winter are still holding on. Had two meetings with them. I had the privilege of burying twenty willing souls with their Lord by baptism, in a beautiful lake near the place of meeting.

They have a lot already secured in a pleasant part of the village of Kendall, and several hundred dollars subscribed toward the building of a house of worship. I see no reason why the cause may not be permanently established here, if those who have received the truth press together, and walk in the light as the Lord in his mercy may let it shine upon them.

We now have the tent pitched at St. Johns, Clinton Co. Have had four meetings. Our meetings have commenced under unfavorable circumstances, it having rained much of the time since we came here, and is still raining. Some interest is manifested to hear. We feel like humbling ourselves before the Lord that his blessing may attend our efforts at this place. Bro. M. B. Miller is with me.
