CHARLOTTE, MICH.

By H. M. Kenyon

By request of Bro. Canright, I met with the brethren at this place, Feb. 26, 27. Here was once quite a strong church, but on account of removals, and from other causes, their church organization was discontinued. They held no regular meetings, and no S. B. was pledged for 1875. Held several meetings with them, which were well attended. A church was re-organized of twelve members, and Sabbath meetings were appointed. Systematic Benevolence was pledged for 1876 amounting to $145.00, all of which was voted to the Conference. There are others here that will unite with them soon.

I also held two meetings four miles south of Charlotte at the Pemberton school-house. The attendance was good, and there was an urgent request for a course of lectures, but circumstances were such I could not remain at the present time.

March 4, 5, held meetings with the church at Partello. Our meetings were of an encouraging nature. On the Sabbath the school-house was crowded. Brethren were present from Marshall, Convis, and Olivet. There has been but little labor bestowed here during the past year, yet I found six who had recently embraced the Sabbath. This speaks well for the influence of the brethren here. Systematic Benevolence was re-organized, raising the amount from $70.00 to $113.00, all of which was pledged to the Conference.

I am now holding meetings at Sevastopol, Eaton Co., with a good interest manifested to hear. My P. O. address for the present will be Potterville, Eaton Co., Mich.
