MEETINGS AT BUCK CREEK, MICH.
By Joseph Bates
DEAR BRO. WHITE : I have been in this vicinity ten days, holding meetings in three separate school-districts. Our Sabbath meetings have been held at Buck Creek, where some fifteen associate to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Their whole number would be twenty-one, but five or six of those who were among the first volunteers in this sacred cause have fallen back because of the narrow way. Bro. Frisbie commenced with the first meetings here last Dec., as we have before stated. Last Monday, after traveling with double teams through swamps, over logs, and through a deep mire a good part of the way for six miles, we came to a beautiful running stream of clear water in the dense forest, where six were buried with Christ by baptism into death, and returned on their way home rejoicing. Others are resolving in like manner to obey their Lord and Master. Yesterday afternoon and evening we held two interesting meetings at the Winchester school-house (a new place), where the Bible Sabbath and law of God had been recently set before the people as abolished. The people gave good attention, and seemed willing also to hear the testimony from the Bible that the Sabbath never had been changed, nor the law of God abolished. After the rain-storm is over I expect to go to Wright. Buck Creek, Mich., April 21, 1862.
