Saranac, Aug. 26

By P. Strong; R. J. Lawrence

Michigan.

By request I visited the Danish brethren in Montcalm Co., June 7. Held one meeting, after which seven were baptized, and united with the church. These were brought into the truth through the influence of the Tract Society; and all have taken an active part in the tract enterprise. The director being present, a tract meeting was held, and $51.50 were raised for the Advent Tidende, and other enterprises. While celebrating the ordinances with them, the good Spirit came into our midst, and our hearts were made glad.

June 20 and 21, I met with the friends at Monroe, Traverse Co. Found them all trying to overcome. Death has thinned their ranks since they started, still they feel like holding on to the work.

June 25 to 29, I held four meetings in the tent at Traverse City, and then shipped the tent to Cedar Springs, Kent Co., where I remained till camp-meeting. Bro. Lawrence joined me in my labors there. Ten decided to obey the commandments, for which we feel thankful. P. Strong.

P. S. Our tent is now pitched at Saranac, Ionia Co. Have held seven meetings. The people are friendly and congregations increasing. R. J. Lawrence, P. Strong.
