WORK IN MICHIGAN.

By S. N. Haskell

The general quarterly meeting which is to be at Alaiedon, Dec. 22, 23, will be one of importance to the cause in Michigan. We expect a general attendance of the directors from all parts of the State.

Arrangements were made at the late general meeting at Battle Creek to have the entire State canvassed previous to this time as far as possible. There are companies and churches who have never been organized in Tract Societies; and some who have been, have never seen a blank report to fill out to be returned. In short, the missionary work has been sadly neglected. We blame no one for the past, but we invite a general rally now. Our brethren generally are willing to act when they learn how. There are those all over the State that can direct this labor. At our meeting at Alaiedon, these things will be especially considered. Much, yes very much, can be done this winter. Shall we make one general rally?

Our apportionment of names for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, REFORMER, and almanacs, no doubt has seemed large to many. But my experience for the past few weeks has convinced me that there is not a Conference in the country which can fill its apportionment as easy as this, were the matter properly taken hold of by the brethren. There are but few churches but that are ready to act, and act promptly. We say, therefore, to our leading brethren generally, who feel for the cause in this State, remember the general Tract and Missionary meeting held at Alaiedon, Dec. 22, 23. Come prepared to remain until Tuesday morning if necessary.
