"Systematic-Labor" Calls.
BRO. WHITE: At a meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Wright, Mich., September 7, 1862, the following action was taken: Resolved, That we feel willing, and it would afford us pleasure as a church, to sustain a messenger among us. We therefore pledge ourselves ready to provide a home, and care for such an one as shall be willing to take up his abode with us; and we will contribute to all his support according to the goods and ability God has put in our hands. JAMES SAWYER, Clerk. BRO WHITE: I have been requested by the churches at St. Charles, Chesaning, and Owasso, to respond to your suggestion under the head of "Systematic Labor," in Review No 8, and request that some one of the messengers locate at, or in the vicinity of, Owasso, it being nearly a central point among five or six churches. Fourteen miles north is the church at Chesaning. Nine miles beyond them is the church at St. Charles. Twenty miles west is the church at Green Bush. South-west is the church at Woodhull, and southeast the church at Lock, each about twenty miles distant. Besides these are the churches on or near the rail road both east and west. It is a point easily accessible from almost all parts, either by stage or rail road. It is proposed by the friends here to provide a home for any of the messengers that will come, also to provide as far as necessary for the wants of his family. It is further requested that brethren Loughborough and Hull give a course of lectures in the city of Owasso at their earliest opportunity. Notice being given in season when they can come, the use of a large and commodious hall will be secured. The friends of the cause in this vicinity are becoming considerably stirred up by beholding the ominous signs of the times, and desire to put forth vigorous efforts that perishing souls may be brought to a saving knowledge of mercy's last127call, that they, with us, may be shielded from the storm that is now gathering. Yours for the interests of Zion. E. S. GRIGGS.
