MICHIGAN

By W. H. Littlejohn

On Dec. 8, in company with M. S. Burnham, I went to Monterey for the purpose of preaching the funeral discourse of Salmon Howard, Sen., an aged brother who had long been a member of the church in that place. The attendance upon the funeral was large, and the occasion furnished a good opportunity to reach, by the preaching of the word, a large class of individuals who are seldom seen inside of a church edifice.
By the request of the brethren, we remained in Monterey and preached on the afternoon of Sunday, and on the evening of Monday following. The results of our labors seemed to be good in the direction of awakening the church to new interest in the service of God, and the establishment of more favorable conditions for a closer union among the brethren than has heretofore existed.
On Sabbath, Dec. 15, and on the following Sabbath, I preached to the church in Allegan. The brethren in this place are manifesting an increasing interest in the services of the Lord’s house, and seeking for a deeper individual experience in the things of God. In common with the church in Monterey, they manifest a laudable disposition to cultivate harmony and concord, to the end that all who love the Lord’s Sabbath, and look for the appearing of the Son of God in the clouds of heaven, may be united in one fold as well as in one hope. At the close of the discourse on the last Sabbath mentioned above, I was summoned to Kent Co., to preach the funeral discourse of Robert R. Jones, the account of which is given in detail in another place.
