Meetings in Wayland Mich.
By John B. Frisbie
BRO. SMITH: I have just finished lecturing in Wayland, Allegan county, where Bro. Byington commenced. It has been a dark place indeed, but we believe God has done a good work for some. As near as I can judge, there are about twenty that will keep the Sabbath. They have appointed themselves a leader to keep up prayer meetings. A number that have belonged with the Methodists will keep the Lord's Sabbath, notwithstanding their preacher made great efforts against us. I visited Caledonia a week ago last Sabbath. The church there have been prospered with good, spirited meetings for most of the time, and the Lord has been constantly adding to their numbers, we trust of such as may be saved. About twelve have commenced there to keep the Sabbath since I was there in the Fall. Some ten more have commenced keeping the Sabbath in the town of Thornapple, where Bro. Farnum has been talking the truth. I understand that some others have commenced keeping the Sabbath where I labored last Fall. So the work is onward. I leave this morning for Bowne, and then if the Lord direct, I may go north of Grand Rapids this week. J. B. FRISBIE.
