Reports from Michigan Churches
By J. B. Frisbie
BRO. WHITE: I visited the Sabbath-keepers in Winfield, and found the most of them holding on. Two or three had fallen off, and some five or six others have commenced keeping the Sabbath since. They have some good meetings. So many go out to harvest, and the hurry was so great, that we only stayed a week there. I returned to Greenville, where I met Bro. Strong, and found the people right in the midst of harvest, help scarce, and wages high. We therefore thought it not best to hold meetings till after the hurry, and went to work on the Orleans meeting-house, lathing and shingling. Last week we went to Bushnell and visited, and held two meetings, where I was two years ago. Found the people in the midst of haying and hurried; but we took an expression of the people, and they voted to have us come back after the hurry and lecture. I found one keeping the Sabbath. We are now holding meetings on Wolverton Plains, west of Greenville about four miles. The congregations are not very large, but they give good attention, and appear to be interested, and we have good liberty in presenting the truth. J. B. FRISBIE. Greenville, Mich., Aug. 1, 1864.
