Meetings at Monterey, Mich.

Here the people listened to seven lectures with much apparent interest. The congregation was very large and attentive. Before the close, the house would be filled before half-past five in the evening. More than twenty persons were obliged to stand for nearly three hours. Before we left, ten decided to keep the Sabbath, and many others bought books and are investigating. Among the number that decided was a Methodist exhorter. At the close of the last meeting the Lord gave good liberty in exhortation, and the word had free course. Several wept, and some rejoiced in the clearness of the truth. A prayer-meeting was appointed at the Methodist brother's house for the next Sabbath. We heard it remarked by some that they had never before known such a general searching of the Scriptures in that place. The Spirit of the Lord seems to be moving upon the people anew. Even so, Amen!
