Brief Report of Meetings.
SABBATH and first-day, June 6th and 7th, we were at the Tent at Otsego, Mich.; had freedom in preaching. Mrs. W. had great freedom on first-day. Sabbath, the 13th, we met with the church at Monterey; had a large congregation, and freedom in preaching twice. Mrs. W. enjoyed usual liberty. On first-day, the 14th, we rode to Otsego, fifteen miles, through the dust and intense heat in a farm wagon, and preached in the tent three times. In the evening we had great freedom. Sabbath, the 20th, we preached to the church at Battle Creek, and enjoyed a good season. Tuesday, the 23d, preached at the funeral of sister Curtis at Allegan. The 25th, preached twice at Otsego and baptized nine, among the number the four eldest children of Bro. and sister Hilliard, formerly of Northern N. Y. This was a good day. Sabbath the 27th, held three meetings at Monterey; baptized five, preached twice, and had a glorious communion season. Brethren came in from other churches, and the large meeting-house was filled with Sabbath-keepers. The day following we preached twice at Allegan. At all these meetings Mrs. W.'s testimony was listened to with deep interest. Sabbath, July 4, beneath the old Mich. tent, in the town of Convis, we had as good a meeting as we ever witnessed in this county. The gathering was larger than we looked for. On first-day we spoke twice. In the afternoon Mrs. W. commenced to speak just before the time of public service, and her full voice seemed to answer the purpose of a church-bell to call the people to the tent and to their seats. At this meeting we were greatly assisted by the labors of Bro. Byington, whom we all esteem as an honored father in Israel. The brethren generally had a mind to work. At the close of the meeting we had a little contention on this wise: the brethren in Convis wanted to bear all the expenses of the meeting, and take the brethren from Battle Creek from and to the cars free. To this we objected; but the matter was soon settled by letting them have their own way in nearly everything. May God bless them. And here we are at our desk Monday morning, a little worse for wear. When we have time to rest and think, we design to write more for the Review than we have for several weeks past.
