Meetings at Gun Lake, Mich.
By John Byington
DEAR BRO. SMITH: After spending the Sabbath, Jan. 8th, in Otsego, in company with Brn. White and Loughborough, I left early on First-day morning, and after riding some twenty-five miles I arrived at one o'clock in the vicinity of the Post Office of Gun Lake, near the west line of Yankee Springs, and found a congregation assembled for the purpose of hearing the present truth, at the school house, according to previous appointment. Here we felt much freedom at the first meeting, and about every evening through the week, in presenting the evidences of the soon coming of our Saviour, and our duty in view of the near approach of this great event. It was evident that there was an ear to hear. The congregations were large for a new place. Some have decided to keep the Sabbath, and I have no doubt that others will, and a church be gathered here sufficient to sustain meetings on the Lord's holy day. After spending the week and feeling quite worn down we were cheered by the coming of Brn. Frisbie and Phillips, who have been laboring there the week past. I think you will hear from Bro. F. soon. I left for this place yesterday morning. JOHN BYINGTON.
