Vestaburg.—We expect to dedicate our. new meetinghouse at Vestaburg July 8. Bro. Isaiah Rairigh, our elder, of Woodland, Mich., is to preach at these services. We are a part of the Crystal church, located about twelve miles north of our main house and on the main line of the Pere Marquette railroad, half way between Saginaw and Grand Rapids. We have about sixteen members in this locality. We are in a quite new country and anyone thinking of making a change might do well here. Land all prices. We are indebted to the following churches for their kindly assistance in building our house,—New Haven, Thornapple, Woodland, and Sunfield, of Michigan, and Springfield church, of Ohio. Any minister passing this way is invited to stop at Vestaburg and hold a few meetings for us. Address the undersigned, and we will meet you at station at Vestaburg.—Samuel Bollinger, Vestaburg, Mich., June 23.

Crystal church met in council in our Vestaburg house Aug. 10. A new church was born, called the Vestaburg church, with a territory of ten and one-half miles north and south and twelve miles east and west.  The small nucleus of nineteen members five years ago, that became the Crystal church, has now become two organizations, each having a churchhouse, ministers and deacons.  Oct. 19 is the date for the Crystal love feast, commencing at 10 A. M. – Tillie Stone, Crystal, Mich., Aug. 12.
