Edenville, Mich.

By W. H. Littlejohn

THIS place is situated in Midland county, and there was formerly located therein a church of Seventh-day Adventists, which was disbanded about four years ago. When we visited them recently, they had no organization and held no meetings. After laboring there between two and three weeks, we left a company numbering twenty-three in all, who had covenanted together to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and had selected suitable persons to conduct their regular services on each Sabbath day. We also organized a Sabbath-school comprising twenty-eight members, and obtained eleven subscribers for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and ten for the weekly Instructor. During our meetings eight or nine persons commenced to keep the Sabbath and identified themselves with our people. Before we left, the brethren had arranged for the building of a meeting-house of moderate dimensions, which will answer their present necessities. Our meetings were well attended from first to last.
