A Tour Through Michigan and Indiana
By M. E. Cornell
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—I have just returned from the West, on a tour through Michigan and Indiana, in company with Bro. Case. Our tour was very fatiguing, being constantly engaged, while not traveling, in trying to persuade and urge ("compel") the honest in the "high ways and hedges" to come in and receive the heavenly food, embrace the present truth, by which we are to live, and "not by bread alone."—Fourteen or fifteen were convinced, and joyfully confessed the truth, and vowed to keep the commandments. And as many more are "almost persuaded," but wish to investigate more thoroughly before deciding. The saints, in the different places we visited, were not a little comforted, encouraged and strengthened by the abundance of clear evidence presented by Bro. Case, from the word of the Lord. The field of labor seems very large, and the laborers are very few. O, that the Lord would send forth more laborers, and qualify them to give the message in a clear, persuasive, and yet in a powerful manner, that many, even all of the honest, may see and obey the truth. Your unworthy brother, in hope,
Plymouth, Mich., Sept. 1852. M. E. CORNELL.
