Northern Illinois Conference

By William Covert

SINCE our camp-meetings our laborers have been following up the work in Elgin, Chicago, and elsewhere within our borders.
At Elgin a tent effort was held after the camp-meeting closed, in which eight persons decided to obey the truth, and Bible work is still continued there.
The Swedish effort with tent-meetings in Chicago resulted in gathering several members, and this interest is being followed up by maintaining services in a hall.
The German laborers of Chicago closed their meetings held in a tent several weeks ago. Their work has borne fruit, and seven or more new members are to be added to the German church as a result. The interest is now continued by house-to-house work, supplemented with evening services held in the church house lately purchased by the Germans for their convenience in Chicago.
A series of tent-meetings was held in West Pullman, a suburb of Chicago. As a result, several became interested, a few decided to obey, and plans are under advisement for further labor there.
We are just starting work among the Italians and Bohemians in Chicago; but how we can give the message in the many other languages spoken in Chicago is a problem that yet remains to be solved. However, we must keep trying.
Wm. Covert.
