Report of Meetings.

By Joseph Bates

BRO. WHITE: From July 29th to Aug. 1st, I held six meetings with the church in Hanover, Jackson Co., Mich., all of which were interesting and I trust profitable. With few exceptions this church is laboring to live out their faith.
August 2-8, held seven meetings with the church in Hillsdale, Hillsdale Co., Mich. For a season this church has been laboring under some discouragements which I trust by the help of the Lord are now being removed. One of these was caused by four of their members allowing themselves to be allured away into distant States to repair bridges and buildings, injured and destroyed in the present war, by fair promises of high wages and protection of their religious privileges. Realizing in part only, what they anticipated in this move, by their repeated requests they were after a few months legally discharged from under military rule, and returned home. During the series of meetings they labored to remove all discouragements from their brethren caused by their inconsiderate move.
Three were baptized, and four received into the church. JOSEPH BATES.
