Meetings in Mich.

By R. J. Lawrence

Bro. WHITE: I met with the church in Ithaca the 3d and 4th inst. Held four meetings with them, and attended to the ordinances. The church here are united and growing in the truth. They are about commencing their meeting-house.

Monday evening spoke in North Star, near Bro. Mellinger's. Tuesday went to the town of Fulton and attended the funeral of sister Howe's child. In the evening spoke again in North Star.

The 10th and 11th spent in Seville, west of Alma. Spoke three times, and organized a church of fourteen members, and Systematic Benevolence amounting to $48,65. This is a little company of interesting believers in the truth.

The following Sabbath and first-day I spent in Alma. Spoke twice on first-day to the church, and once to a crowded house on the change and restoration of the Sabbath. Then we went to the beautiful Pine River where I baptized twenty-six willing candidates. It was a solemn and interesting scene. We then returned to the house and partook of the Lord's supper.

Brethren Van Horn and Canright have won the hearts of the candid thinking people of Gratiot. But some rage.
