Quarterly Meetings in Mich.
By John Byington
Bro. White: My last report was from Monterey. We had six meetings here. We felt much blessed while with this church. We think their trials will work for their good. Their large meeting-house was quite well filled, and the best of all was the blessing of the Lord upon his people. Jan. 25, we were at Allegan. We had an evening meeting. It was very cold and stormy, some of the brethren were absent and but few at the meeting. We met with the church in Otsego, Sabbath, the 28th. Here were quite a number that we formerly met with at Buck's Bridge, N. Y. We felt blessed with them at this meeting. Our meeting was in a private house and much crowded. They need a meeting-house and would have one was it not that the war uses up about all the means which they could spare for building. Sabbath, Feb. 4th, we were with the church in Parkville. We had five meetings with them. There was a good attendance from without on first-day. Quite a number have removed from this church. The evening of the 7th, we had an interesting meeting in the school-house near Brn. Charles and John Langdon's. Sabbath, 11th, the day set apart for prayer and fasting we spent with the church in Newton. At the close of the meeting about all united in a season of prayer, that God would guide his people in this day of peril.
