Wacousta and Grand Ledge.

Took down the tent at Wacousta, July 9, after a stay of nineteen days. A few were deeply interested, and some will obey the truth as the result of this effort. At this place, I learned the names of some in the city of Lansing who were favorable to the truth; so July 12, I visited that place, and spent a few hours calling upon such.

Here I found some of whom I had never before heard, obeying the truth as the result of the earnest labors of Eld. Lamson and myself one year ago this summer. I was told, also, that many others in the city are deeply interested. I have strong hopes that the powerful influence of our camp-meeting at that place will greatly help all such.

Commenced meetings in the tent at Grand Ledge, July 13, and have now given seven discourses, and Bro. Waggoner one. The most of the time, we have had quite large congregations, and all the time the people have manifested an encouraging interest in what they have heard. Some say they can hardly wait from one evening to the next, they are so anxious to hear.

We have been in this place nearly four weeks, and are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. Our interest is good, and apparently deepening. Many are convinced of the truth, and several have decided to obey it. Thus far, we have met with but little open opposition; but the dragon is being stirred, and evidently a battle is before us. A member of the Baptist church upon whose ground our tent is pitched informed us that we could remain no longer. We have secured another location. This act is strengthening our hold upon the people.

We have reached the deciding point, when they must either accept or reject the light. We ask to be remembered by God's people.

Williamstown.

We held our first Sabbath meeting last Sabbath, July 1. Brethren from the country around came in, so that our congregation numbered about seventy-five. Several bore testimony for the truth for the first time. We shall remain here a short time, and then hope to find a more fruitful field of labor.
