Illinois

By G. E. Nord

Brother Johnson and I are laboring in Galesburg. We came to this place last spring. After our tent effort in the fall, nine were baptized as a result of earnest work in which the church took an active part. Some of the members furnished able help in song and in giving Bible readings. During the winter months we erected a small chapel. It has a seating capacity of about one hundred and fifty. In connection with the chapel, there is a convenient little room for the church-school, which is now full of bright children who are taught in harmony with the divine plan. Our chapel was dedicated in March.

Last Sabbath was a day of great rejoicing to our little company here; seven were baptized, most of whom were young people. They give promise of becoming strong workers in the near future. We feel greatly rejoiced to see the good work going forward. God leads his hosts to victory.
