MICHIGAN AND THE SCHOOL.
By A. O. Burrill
I had the pleasure of being with the Ravenna church, Dec. 22-24. Our Sabbath meetings were very interesting; some made a start for the first time. The T. and M. work and S. B. were looked after on Sunday, and arranged for 1877. We find some of this church slack about their “tithing.” “Will a man rob God?” yet when we use our tithes, this is what we do. Read, dear brethren, what the Lord has said in Mal. 3:8-11; Lev. 27:30-33. 23:10, 14; Deut. 14:22; Matt. 23:23; and when we read let us ask ourselves if this means anything. Wednesday following, I reached Battle Creek, where I hope to spend the winter in our good school. Having been a pupil here, I am the more free to state that could nearly all my brethren in the ministry spend a short time here, it would greatly aid them in this good work, and especially those young men who are contemplating the ministry will find here what they need, and without which they can scarcely succeed. Bro. Smith’s lectures ought to be heard by hundreds, and especially by those who are expecting to become teachers of the present truth. Board, room, wood, and lights, in the clubs, can be obtained for about $1.60 or $1.70 per week. Come to the school, brethren; send your sons and daughters. A. O. Burrill.
