Humboldt, Richardson Co.—I met with the church here at the time of their quarterly meeting. A general attendance of nearly all the members, without previous appointment for preaching, some coming over twenty miles by private conveyance, certainly speaks well for them. The Lord blessed in preaching. The new plan of S. B. was presented, and adopted by all present. Back pledges were mostly paid, and T. and M. money to the amount of $6 was cheerfully paid, and $5 on T. and M. fund. A collection of $4 was then raised to purchase the circulating library of Sr. White’s writings. The company here have encouragement to labor in the tract work by the addition to their ranks of three good families that came into the truth by reading alone.

I am distributing tracts and papers in Omaha, the largest city in the State, preparatory to future labor and preaching. This city contains about 25,000 inhabitants, and not one Sabbath-keeper. Some are reading, and are interested. Pray for this city, and for me.

Omaha, Nebraska, April 24.

Albion.—Sabbath and Sunday, April 12 and 13, we met with the company at Albion. Had four meetings, and enjoyed freedom in speaking, and much of the blessing of God in our social meetings. Since we closed our lectures here last winter, this little company have been at work in the missionary cause, and as a result they are growing in grace and a knowledge of the truth, and ten others have commenced to keep the Sabbath with them. May these “go and do likewise,” And may the dear Lord keep these precious souls from falling, and preserve them unto his heavenly kingdom.

We now go to another part of the field.
