MEETINGS IN EASTERN MICHIGAN.
By R. J. Lawrence
DEAR BRO. WHITE: According to previous notice I visited North Branch, August 31st and September 1st, where a good congregation assembled in Bro. Sanborn's house, notwithstanding a protracted meeting was in session within a half mile of his house by the Free-will Baptists. They claim some conversions. They held a quarterly meeting one week before ours, and protracted it until after we left, in which they passed a resolution not to fellowship Adventists, or any that sympathized with them. Consequently several of their members who attended our meetings were summoned to a church meeting, some of whom have fully endorsed our views. Quite an interest is manifested there. On first-day four followed the Saviour by being buried in the likeness of his death. The cause is rising at North Branch. September 7th and 8th I spent in Thetford; but in consequence of a conference held at the same place by the Christians, we enjoyed but limited opportunities. We spoke three times, to the encouragement of the church. On first-day four were baptized. Yours striving to overcome,
R. J. LAWRENCE.
