Report of Meetings.

By Joseph Bates

Bro. White: We were with the church in Millford, Oak. Co., Mich., August 10-15. Here we found Bro. J. P. Rathbun's family in affliction, on account of the death of their son J. D. (see notice in Review of 23 inst.), who died the day before we arrived there. After the affecting scene of the funeral, we enjoyed several interesting meetings with the church. One was baptized, and united with them; after which the church enjoyed a solemn season in attending to the ordinances of the Lord's house.
August 15-22 with the church in Tyrone, Liv. Co. Here also our meetings were interesting. On first-day quite a number out side of the church here, and also at Millford, came out to hear, and were apparently more anxious to hear and learn our position than heretofore.
Our meetings closed with a refreshing from the presence of the Lord while celebrating the ordinances of his house. Praise his holy name.
Yesterday (Sabbath) we spent the day with the church in Monterey in fasting and prayer. The Lord graciously regard the united petition of his people, is our prayer. JOSEPH BATES. Monterey, Aug. 28, 1864.
