Report from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
BRO. WHITE : We arrived safely at Monterey Friday afternoon, May 27. Bro. Andrews preached in the evening, and twice on the Sabbath, with freedom, to large congregations. The evening after the Sabbath we met the church to inquire if all were doing their duty, laying aside their idols, and living holy. Duty of parents to children was enforced; the young doing their duty, family prayer maintained, and bad habits, so common, kept out of the church. Sunday, 29th, meeting at Allegan for the dedication of their new meeting-house. Here we had four meetings, two were baptized. There was a good congregation at the dedication who listened with interest to the reasons of our hope, and though the enemies of truth would gladly hinder the work yet we think the church here will live.
