Nebraska

By J. W. Christian

WE have had a number of interesting evangelistic efforts this year, which have borne fruit. Persons who a short time ago were strangers to the covenant of promise, are to-day rejoicing in the light of the third angel's message. It gives us renewed courage to see precious souls for whom Jesus died come to the liberty of the gospel.

For the summer we plan to have seven tent efforts in the field,—one in the German, one in the Scandinavian, and five in the English language. These will all be in practically new fields. I have never seen a company of workers enter into a summer's campaign with more determination and real burden for souls than characterizes the band of workers in the Nebraska Conference. What the results will be, we can not tell; but the Master's commission is, “Go, . . . and teach all nations,” and his power will attend the humble efforts of those who obey.

The Lord helped us to meet our quota on the ten-cent-a-week plan for the year 1910, and we have kept up our quota for the first five months of this year. On the $300,000 Fund, Nebraska was to raise $12,080. Of this we have raised about eight thousand dollars, and have pledges to cover part of the balance. We have set our stakes to finish this fund by the close of 1911.

Owing to the dry weather, our crop outlook is not encouraging; but the Lord's blessings are often most appreciated in time of adversity, and we are hoping to come behind in no claim the Lord makes upon us.

We are at present enjoying the privilege of our local camp-meeting at Holbrook. We are not a large company, but the Lord is coming very near to his people. We shall give a report of this meeting later. J. W. CHRISTIAN.
