Western Washington

By L. Johnson

It is quite a while since I have sent any report to our good REVIEW. I will say, however, that by the grace of God, I have been very busy, giving the message all the time. At our good meeting for the Scandinavian laborers in Minneapolis nearly a year ago, it was decided that a minister should be sent to the Western Washington Conference, and I was asked to go. As I already had a burden for the work there, it was quite easy for me to accept the call, although the Lord was greatly blessing me in the field where I was laboring.

I left for Washington the tenth of March, and labored in different places, attended the camp-meeting in Oregon, and held a tent-meeting in Ballard till the first of September, when I went back to Nebraska to attend the good camp-meeting at Hastings.

The latter part of October I returned with my family, and have labored in Ballard, which is now a part of Seattle. The twenty-fourth of November we organized a church with twenty-one members. Some of these accepted the truth this summer; others have moved here from other States. The little church represents all three Scandinavian nationalities, and they are all happy in the Lord, and united in brotherly love.

This little company has already used over seven hundred copies of the Signs Missions number, and they are still at work with it. Pray for us, that we may be a living church approved of God, and that many may yet be added to our number.

I will be glad to correspond with other Scandinavian brethren in this part of the field in regard to the work of God. My address is 3022 West Sixty-second St., Ballard Station, Seattle, Wash. L. JOHNSON.
