Elk Rapids, Mich.

By J. and L. M. Sisley

Since our last report we have held about thirty meetings near Elk Rapids. The undercurrent of opposition was strong, and most professors of religion staid away. Some, however, were determined to hear the word of God preached, and are now rejoicing in the advancing light of truth.

Ten have fully decided to obey the Lord, and others are keeping the Sabbath with them. We have held two Sabbath meetings here, and at the last nearly all expressed a desire to seek God. Most of these give evidence of the work of grace commenced in their hearts.

We visited the friends near Spencer Creek, and found them growing in the love of the truth, although they have not held any meetings this winter because of the impassable condition of the roads. Their growth in grace is chiefly due to the fact that they have the circulating library. Every little company should have this valuable help.
