A CHURCH of thirty-four members was organized November 20, at Twining, Mich. It will be known as the Omer church. Others will unite with them soon. Brethren S. E. Wight, C. Wood, T. Lewis, and A. J. Olsen, and the writer were present. A full corps of church officers was elected. The Sabbath school has fifty-four members, and an adjoining school has been organized at Whittemore, numbering about fifteen members. A church school has also been started. There was a spirit of devotion to the cause of Christ that was truly refreshing. Ten of this company were buried with their Lord in baptism during the week before the organization was effected, and others expect to be baptized soon.

A little over four years ago there was not a Sabbath keeper in this place. Then a family moved here, and settled on a farm, for the purpose of holding up the light of truth before their neighbors. A few began to obey the truth, and then a series of meetings was held by Brethren Soule, Weeks, and Bristol. During the past year Brother T. Lewis has labored in that vicinity, and these efforts have all been fruitful. I wish that many of our people would move into places where the truth is not known, let their light shine, and thus help to speed the message.
