Systematic Labor.

By Editor

We are glad to see our brethren waking up to the subject of systematic labor. Let our preachers be comfortably and happily situated in different parts of the field where they can be more easily supported and where they can labor to the best advantage. There is too much room in the wide field for them to labor under the disadvantages of treading on one another's heels, and many liberal, free, warm-hearted friends in different parts of the field to attract them out where room is plenty. Here comes a call from Ionia:
BRO. WHITE—"After reading the article on systematic labor in No 8 present Vol. a large majority of the brethren living in and about Ionia, while attending the tent meetings, came together to consider the matter set forth in the above article, and unanimously invited Bro. J. N. Loughborough, to come and locate in the village of Ionia, Mich. We now wait to hear from Bro. Loughborough, and also for organization that property may be legally held by the churches before taking any further action in the matter.
In behalf of the brethren. E. M. DAVIS.
Ionia, Aug. 26th 1862.
The brethren at Green Bush, Clinton Co., Mich., call for a preacher to settle among them. Also brethren Howland and Lunt call in behalf of the brethren in that State, to settle in Maine. Send in your calls, brethren, before Conference.
