Meetings in Mich. and Northern Indiana.
By Joseph Bates
BRO. WHITE: From April 20-25, held six meetings with the church in Hillsdale, Mich. With a few exceptions they are struggling to go forward in union with all God's loyal people in the third angel's message. They were laudably raising their figures on Systematic Benevolence. Our meetings were encouraging. April 26 to May 1, was occupied visiting and holding meetings with the church in Salem Center, Ind. Three were united to the church, and their Systematic Benevolence Fund revised, and increased about one-third. We held six meetings with them, and closed with celebrating the ordinances of the Lord's house, and were very much strengthened and blessed of the Lord. May 1-4 held meetings, and visited the company of Sabbath-keepers in South Bend, Ind., most all of whom have united with the church in North Liberty, Ind., fourteen miles distant, because they have no Brother of sufficient experience to lead their meetings. We held four meetings with them, and then from May 5-8, including Sabbath and first-day, most of them attended the meetings we held with the church in North Liberty, where we enjoyed five profitable meetings, and were much blessed of the Lord in celebrating the ordinances of the Lord's house. Two were added to the church. Returned home in season to keep the appointed fast, Sabbath 13th inst. with the church in Monterey. In conclusion I wish to say that I have been much encouraged and blessed during this year's labor in the harvest field, in witnessing the increasing desire of God's dear people to move unitedly onward in the third angel's message. To God be all the praise through Jesus Christ our Lord.
