ILLINOIS

By Lewis Johnson

Beaverville, Iroquois Co., March 12.—Sunday, Feb. 23, I encountered bitter opposition from a Lutheran minister. Among other things he advised the people not to let me sleep in their houses nor give me food. Some said they would never hear him again.
I came to Kankakee on the 5th of March, and spoke three times in Danish. On the Sabbath I tried, for the first time, to speak in English.
Yesterday I came to a Swedish settlement about six miles east of St. Mary. The most of those I have visited have been very much opposed. I shall hold a meeting to-morrow evening. Pray that good may be accomplished to the glory of God. LEWIS JOHNSON.
