MICHIGAN

By M. B. Miller

Leslie, Alaiedon, and Dansville.

I MET with the church in Leslie, in quarterly meeting, May 19 and 20. The church here being organized last January by Bro. J. Fargo, this was their first meeting of this kind. Sabbath afternoon we celebrated the ordinances. Sunday forenoon, after a discourse on baptism, five were baptized. These had been taken into the church previous to this time.

I attended the meeting at Alaiedon, May 26 and 27. Supposing we could not be here at this time, we had taken up our appointment which was given in the REVIEW, yet from brief notice there was a general attendance of brethren and sisters and some outside interest was manifest. We held six meetings, celebrated the ordinances, and two were taken into the church, and three baptized. A goodly company gathered on the banks of Cedar River to witness the baptism, which was an impressive scene, even drawing tears from nonprofessors.

By the assistance of brethren and friends, the tent is pitched in Dansville, Ingham Co. I commenced meetings last evening. Present indications are such that we expect a good hearing, there being fully one hundred and fifty out last night.

I am entirely alone, but Eld. Kenyon will join me soon. M. B. MILLER.

Dansville, May 31.
