DAKOTA

By S. B. Whitney

Elk Point, Jan. 20.—I came to this place last Thursday in company with Brn. Olsen and Fredrickson. Found the brethren in need of help, and very ready to receive it. Their numbers have been reduced by removals, and, having had no ministerial help for some time, they had become somewhat discouraged; but as we tried to exhort to greater faith and diligence, the word was gladly received, and they seemed greatly encouraged. The T. and M. society was reorganized with an addition of five new members, and a club of fourteen Signs subscribed for, also a club of ten weekly Instructors for the Sabbath-school.
Since my report from Swan Lake, the church there have taken a club of eleven weekly Instructors, and on our way to this place we stopped one night at Sunny Side, where a club of ten was also taken.
We intend to visit Big Springs this week, and I shall return here to spend next Sabbath.
JAN. 21.—There seems to be a good outside interest here, as for the last two evenings the school-house has been crowded.
