Bro. M. S. Kellogg writes from Lake Station, Ind.:
Thinking perhaps that the brethren might be interested to hear how we are getting along here, I take this opportunity to write. We are striving to overcome and get ready for the solemn events before us. We meet every Sabbath-day, and one evening in the week, for worship; and many times we have the witness that the Lord is pleased. Those that received the truth under the labors of Bro. Bates last summer, seem to be getting firmly established in the truth, and growing strong in the Lord. There appears to be a spirit of sacrifice with the brethren here. Hoops, tobacco, and snuff, are laid aside. Systematic benevolence is cheerfully adopted, and faith in the gifts is being fully established. One sister is blind, and has been for seven years; yet she does not hesitate to walk one-half mile to meeting. We would like very much to have Bro. Cornell stop and preach to us while on his way home from the West. We are two and one-half miles east of Lake Station, on the Mich. Central R. R.
