Michigan By Rev. S. N. Griffith
Permit me to say, that there-is here a mighty contest going on between religion, the world and infidelity. The last named enemy will no doubt fade away before the light-of the glorious Gospel of Christ. But the contest between the world and Christianity is very doubtful as yet. How often have I thought of the words of the Apostle while I have been viewing with pain the spirit of speculation that inundates our country, and the professors of religion have embarked very considerably in it also—' Love not the world nor the-things that are in the world.' "
Yours truly,
JAMES T. KOBE. Bronson, August 5 1835.
Kalamazoo was called Bronson at that time, within the territory which then contained about " 100 members;" there are now not less-than 5,000.—Ed. of the Niles District Recorder.
A description of Kalamazoo is given by Col. Curtenius, in a Quarter-Century Report, from which I make a short extract:
