Northern Michigan.

By A. O. Burrill

The tent was taken down at Hubbardston the 19th, after a stay of five weeks. About one dozen decided to obey the truth, and many others were “almost persuaded” to be Christians. We met with much underhanded opposition, such as individuals privately advising others to remain away from the tent.

The wants of the cause were such that we decided to separate. Bro. Van Duesen went to N. Shades, Springbrook, and a place west of Carson City where there are some twenty-five or thirty Sabbath-keepers unorganized, some of whom have recently received the truth. He intends to effect an organization, so that they can be represented in the coming Conference.

I took the tent, and came to Muir, Ionia Co., which is a place on the line of the D. and M. R. R., a village of twelve or fifteen hundred inhabitants, with another nearly as large only one mile distant. The tent is well filled every evening, and the best of attention is given to the word spoken. Our publications are selling rapidly, and we hope to see a good work accomplished in this place. A. O. Burrill.
