Good News from Michigan.
By Editor
A SHORT letter from Sister White gives a very cheering account of the camp-meeting in Jackson, Mich. Elder Canright, who has been some time out of the work, has returned with renewed zeal and courage, and promises to stand faithfully by his fellow-workers. The meeting was the largest body of Sabbath-keepers that ever convened in this country. Nearly two thousand people were in camp. Though we very much missed the labors and counsel of Sister White in our meeting in Oakland, we are satisfied that the welfare of the cause at large required her presence in the Eastern camp-meetings. "The field is the world," and our interest is in all parts alike. We hope that we shall never see the day when local preferences shall give rise to local prejudices among Seventh-day Adventists. We rejoice with our brethren in the East at what the Lord has done for them. Sister White's letter was read in the meeting in Oakland last Sabbath, bringing joy to every heart. Later we have received a more extended report of the meeting from Elder Haskell—too late for this paper. We shall give full reports next week.
