NEBRASKA

By George B. Starr

Albion, Halifax and El Dorado.—When we closed meetings at Albion last winter, only nine took hold of the truth; but upon returning we were rejoiced to find over twenty persons keeping the Sabbath. This is the result of earnest prayer, tract distribution, and consistent living on the part of those who embraced the truth.

A set of the Testimonies was subscribed for. May God bless in the reading of them. We hope always to hear of the growth in numbers and strength of this company.

The company of Sabbath-keepers in Halifax have not grown as we hope they may hereafter, but a hearty repentance on the part of some will, we believe, result in a zealous Christian life, and we leave expecting to hear good reports. A severe hail storm broke in somewhat on our meetings.

We found the company in El Dorado growing in faith and love. Two have signed the covenant since the meetings closed, making sixteen in all. Four or five others are keeping the Sabbath. The subject of tithing was presented, and heartily accepted, as the Bible plan of supporting God's cause. This company are in harmony on every point of faith, and are working. God's Spirit was with us as we visited the above places, for which we feel grateful.
