Sweden

By J. M. Erikson

LAST winter I labored in Karlshamn for about four months. The interest was good. Brother O. Nelson joined me the last two months. As a result of this effort five are now keeping the Sabbath, and many are deeply interested in present truth. I intend to move there with my family this fall, and carry on the work during the winter.

During the summer Brother O. Nelson and I have had a tent in Solvesborg, with very good interest. Eight are now keeping the Sabbath, and many others are fully convinced of the truth. A man who has been an officer in the Salvation Army for more than fifteen years, has joined us in keeping all of God's commandments. It has created quite a stir among his former associates.

We can see that the cloud is rising,

and that better days are coming for the Lord's work in this country. We trust that the Lord in his goodness and mercy may give us power and wisdom to walk humbly before him. A good spirit exists among the laborers, and we are all of good courage in the Lord.

We have one other tent in the field this summer, and it is reported that the attendance is good. The canvassing work is in a healthy condition, and our books and literature are finding their way into the homes of the people. We occasionally meet persons who have come to the knowledge of the truth by reading. So we thank the Lord for all the means he has given us whereby we can give the blessed truths for our time to the people. J. M. ERIKSON.
