LABORS IN MICHIGAN AND VERMONT.
By L. Bean
In company with several from the Sanitarium, we met with the church at Convis, Mich., Aug. 3. After the discourse we enjoyed a good social meeting, in which the Lord seemed to come very near by his Spirit. Some in this church have a living testimony. If they continue to let their light shine, we believe others will yet be added to their number. Some of our company remarked that this was the happiest day they had seen for a long time. After a stay of six months in Battle Creek, we reached our old home in Vermont, Aug. 9. The next day, on repairing to the house of worship, we found assembled there brethren from Berkshire, Richford, Underhill, and Jericho. The Lord gave freedom in speaking words of comfort and admonition. During our absence a number of families have moved West. May the Lord help those that remain to live in harmony with the last message, that others, by seeing their good works and consistent course, may be led to embrace the truth. My severe sickness and my stay at the Sanitarium seem almost like a dream until I want to use my right hand; then I am reminded that I have suffered an affliction that neither time nor nature will fully repair.
