North Dakota

WHEELOCK.—The week of prayer brought blessings to members of the company at this place. Each day a portion or all of the church assembled from house to house. On two days, by request, they met in a home where the people were not of our faith. Both the husband and the wife are quite fully convinced that they should regard the Lord’s Sabbath, and we think they will.

The account of so many persons in different portions of the world who have received the Sabbath, and are calling for Seventh-day Adventists to come and instruct them; then the large attendance of young people at all our schools who wish to go to the regions beyond to help finish the work, greatly impressed all that the angel of Rev. 18: 1-4 is now doing his finishing work in the earth. The message seems to be reaching out into all parts of the world. These tidings were witnessed to by the Holy Spirit. Eighteen have been added to this church within the last three months. Still others are interested, and we believe that they will yet decide to obey.

There is a decided call for a church-school, and an appeal has been sent to the entire Northern Union Conference for a teacher, but so far none has been secured. We have been laboring to get the company here to study “Patriarchs and Prophets,” “Desire of Ages,” “Great Controversy,” and “Early Writings,” and our periodicals, and in this we have had some success.

This is a fruitful field in which to labor. There are many openings where those just beginning public labor would receive a hearty welcome and gather fruits.

While we are writing this, we are on board the Great Northern Railway on our way to attend the Southern Union Conference, which convenes at Nashville, Tenn., January 9-10.
