BIG SPRINGS.—The church at this place is composed mostly of Swedes, but it has also a few Danish and American members. According to the record, thirty hold membership here, but some live in other places, and a few are totally inactive. During the year the brethren had sold several copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and were willing to take hold with renewed zeal to do their part, which was estimated according to the list of names on the record. The writer has been here one week. During this time he has held seven meetings, and gone out to sell the book to both believers and unbelievers. All four of the languages in which the book is published, are spoken here. The work is moving forward. Some have had precious experiences, which have brought joy to their hearts. The brethren hope to have their quota sold by the first of June, but if not, they will nevertheless at that time pay for them all. The Lord be praised for his grace! I now go to Swan Lake. Pray for me. May the God of Israel show himself strong in behalf of his servants, and may new victories be gained.
