LABOR AMONG THE MICHIGAN CHURCHES.

The following ministers are chosen by the Conference Committee to assist the directors in the missionary work among churches in their respective districts, for the general good of the brethren and for the advancement of the cause of present truth.
The ministers are expected to correspond with the directors whom they are appointed to assist, and thereby make arrangements to begin the work as soon as possible.
The arrangement is as follows:—
Div. Minister. Dist’s. Directors.
1. H. M. Kenyon 1 and 3 1, T. J. Snyder; 3, I. A. Olmstead
2. E. H. Root 4, 5, and 12 4, M. S. Burnham; 5, J. S. Wicks; 12, Peter Smalley
3. A. O. Burrill 6 and 7 6, F. Howe; 7, F. Squire
4. D. H. Lamson 8 and 9 8, J. McGregor; 9, Wm. Ostrander
5. J. Fargo and M. B. Miller 2 and 11 2, E. P. Giles; 11, Alex Carpenter
6. E. R. Jones 10 and 13 10, George Randall; 13, D. E. Wellman
There are many things of importance that should receive the most careful consideration from the ministers and directors as they go from church to church, that cannot be mentioned here, but a few may be noticed.
1. It is of great importance for the good of each family of Sabbath-keepers to have in their houses, for their own reading, the REVIEW, HEALTH REFORMER and the INSTRUCTOR. How can the brethren keep pace with the third angel’s message without these helps?
2. Every church should take a number of copies of the SIGNS by clubbing. Those that have not yet done so should be urged to do so the coming year, and those that have, should be induced to increase their efforts. Scattered brethren should also take a number of copies. We should all get as many paying subscribers for these periodicals as we possibly can, using premiums only when necessary.
3. The clerk’s book must be examined, and the S. B. and one-third carefully looked after. In short, everything should be set in order and made well pleasing to the Lord.
