It must not be supposed that this region is wholly destitute of Christian laborers. There were quite a number of Methodist brethren engaged in the work, who heartily wished me success. I also met the Congregational brethren, an earnest band of Christians, at their Association Meeting in July. They extended to me the hand of Christian sympathy, and aided me in various ways. But it must be remembered that it is a broad field, and the number of inhabitants is increasing rapidly. New settlements are springing up in all directions. The settlers come from various parts of our land, are of different denominations, and no other agency can be made so efficient for good as the "Snnday-School Union." I cannot close this article without gratefully remembering the kind services and hospitalities of Rev. G. N. Smith, of Northport, Rev. Leroy Warren, of Elk Rapids, and Rev. Mr. Crumb, of Traverse City, all earnest brethren in the great cause. ABSTRACT OF SCHOOL INSPECTORS' REPORTS, BY COUNTIES, Total,... 79,504 67 320 3376 728 $2,854,990 155 1,687 7,495 6319.2 COUNTIES.
