MEETINGS IN MICHIGAN.

By Joseph Bates

Dear Brother White:—From April 23 to 28 I spent with the church in Wright. Meetings on the Sabbath and first-day were interesting and well attended. On first-day, five were buried with Christ by baptism. In attending to this ordinance, we had to drive about seven miles to get to running water suitable for the occasion; and return in a rain storm. When obedient children of God feel duty pressing them to obey the command of the great head of the church, such are trifling obstacles. The church also, in obedience to the example and direction of their divine Lord, washed one another's feet, and then in remembrance of his agony and death, partook of the emblems of his broken body and spilt blood, and received the divine blessing.
I also spent three days with the church in Pine Creek. On the Sabbath, May 3d, we had a full meeting at Bro. Leighton's. The church is being strengthened and coming up on higher ground since their organization at the commencing of the year. The Lord answered prayer, blessed and strengthened the sick, and confirmed the wavering. Three more offered themselves for baptism to be attended to in two weeks.
