A Little Society in Michigan
By Elbridge G. Rust
BRO. WHITE : By the aid of a brother and sister who came to see us, we held a meeting on the first Sabbath of the year at my mother’s residence. We all enjoyed a great degree of freedom, and felt that the blessing of God rested upon us. The next day we held another meeting; had a very interesting and refreshing season; passed a series of resolutions to start anew with the new year to do our Lord’s work; appointed meetings to be held at my mother’s house on the first Sabbath of every month. We also adopted the plan of systematic benevolence. There are eight Sabbath-keepers here, and we are all striving to live out the truth before the world, and all desire to be strengthened by the visit of one of our messengers to our place. We receive a number of Reviews among us, and one Instructor, and they are hailed with great joy. We desire the prayers of our brethren for the welfare and progress of our little society; and should a messenger come here and labor, we think it is a good field, and that some honest in heart may be led to seek the Lord. Yours in hope. ELBRIDGE G. RUST. Winfield, Montcalm Co., Mich.
