Visiting the Churches in Eastern Michigan

From Hillsdale, James and Ellen White pushed on to the east, visiting six churches during the next three weeks. Midweek, at the Saline church, they had a deeply spiritual time as a vision was given to Ellen White. Reported M. E. Cornell: At Saline the Lord was with us. The testimony for the Laodiceans was presented with good effect. The church was much cheered by the exhortations of Sister White, and on the last day of the meeting the Lord reached down His hand in power to correct wrongs and direct and encourage us all. We truly felt that it was good to be there and know that the Lord was returning to His people.—The Review and Herald, March 26, 1857. 1BIO 352.7

At the five other churches visited in eastern Michigan, the experience of introducing the Laodicean message resulted in revivals. 1BIO 353.1
