HANOVER, MICH.

By J. B. Frisbie; E. P. Daniels

Since our last report, one week's labor has been performed in Baldwin, at the close of which three decided to keep the commandments, and one subscribed for the Review.

On the 31st of July, seeing no further need of present labor there, we removed our tent to Hanover, distant about three and one-half miles. Tuesday, Aug. 1, we held our first meeting in this place, and up to this date (Aug. 19) have given nineteen lectures. We are at present in the midst of the life and death question. Thus far the opposition has been but slight, the attendance has been regular, the congregations ranging from sixty to one hundred and fifty. Every kindness has been shown us. Courteous invitations have been extended, and seven families have been visited; the number of invitations daily increases. Prejudice gradually disappears; and intelligent men and women are reading and inquiring after the truth.

This is God's work; he will take charge of it. But pray for us, that Satan may not, by cunning artifices, inspire us with a selfish ambition which would prevent the co-operation of holy angels and the sweet influence of Christ's Spirit, and thus leave us without hope of success. We repeat: Remember us in prayer. J. B. FRISBIE, E. P. DANIELS.
