Removal to Michigan

we attended our camp meetings and other large gatherings, from Maine

The work begun in feebleness and obscurity has continued to
increase and strengthen. Publishing houses in Michigan and in Cali-
fornia, and missions in England, Norway, and Switzerland, attest its
growth. In place of the edition of our first paper carried to the office
in a carpetbag, about one hundred and forty thousand copies of our
various periodicals are now sent out monthly from the offices of publi-
cation. The hand of God has been with His work to prosper and build
it up.
The later history of my life would involve the history of the various
enterprises which have arisen among us, and with which my lifework
has been closely intermingled. For the upbuilding of these institutions,
my husband and myself labored with pen and voice. To notice, even
briefly, the experience of these active and busy years, would far exceed
the limits of this sketch. Satan’s efforts to hinder the work and to
destroy the workmen have not ceased; but God has had a care for His
servants and for His work.
