Jefferson, Hillsdale Co., Mich.
By M. B. Miller
The quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 1 was held at this place. There was a good attendance, the best they ever have had at a meeting of this kind. The business of the tract society occupied two meetings. Harmony prevailed. A large proportion of the pledges that were made during the past year to clear the district from a long-standing debt have been paid. When the remainder are paid, the district will be free from debt. As the debt rolls off, courage comes in, and we trust well-directed efforts in the future will not only keep the district clear from debt, but will accomplish much good in spreading a knowledge of the truth. Sunday forenoon we gave a discourse on temperance, after which we obtained fifty signers to the teetotal pledge. After the services in the afternoon we repaired to Bird Lake, where seven, four adults and three children, were buried with their Lord in baptism. Thus closed our good district quarterly meeting. M.
