Alaiedon, Locke, and Tyrone.

In company with Bro. E. P. Giles and Alex Carpenter, directors of T. and M. districts Nos. 2 and 11, we met with the church in Alaiedon, Nov. 3 and 4. The object of the meeting was the starting of T. and M. labor, as directed by the Conference, in the above-named districts. A good interest was manifested by the church here in the T. and M. Society, more especially in the financial part of it. The one-third was voted for 1878, and donations to the amount of $26.75 were made, to help on clubbing for the Signs and paying for the Health Annual.

On Tuesday we were called to attend the funeral of sister Poss, of Pinckney. Wednesday and Thursday we visited lone Sabbath-keepers in Livingston Co.

Friday Bro. Alex Carpenter and myself came to Locke. We commenced meetings that evening. Sunday forenoon a business meeting was called, but a trial of long standing prevented the transaction of any business. But the Lord graciously aided in adjusting the difficulties, and a satisfactory settlement was effected.

The one-third was voted, and $6.75 raised for the Health Annual.

Nov. 13 and 14 we were with the brethren at Tyrone. This is a part of the Holly church. They have had very little preaching, consequently were hungry for the word of life.

In all these meetings the Lord has given us liberty in preaching his word. We firmly believe that God's hand is set to this work, that of the T. and M. Society not excepted.
