Garden Grove.— I held meetings with the Sabbath-keepers in this place May 31 and June 1. Our meetings here, I trust, were profitable. Six good persons are trying to walk in all the truth. Agreeably to their request, they were organized into a church. A deacon was elected and ordained, and a clerk and treasurer were chosen. They voted to adopt the tithing system. May God's blessing rest upon them, and others be added to their numbers. C. A. WASHBURN.
Davis City, June 9.— We began meetings June 5, and seven discourses were given up to last night, for the benefit of the church in this place. The brethren and sisters all seemed to be encouraged, and testified that they meant to take a straightforward course for the kingdom. Brn. Millard and Caldwell were present, and added to the interest of the meeting, taking part with us. Six were present from Garden Grove, two of whom, with three others of this place, were baptized yesterday. Two were taken into this church. To-day we have pitched our tent in the village, and intend to begin a short series of meetings to-morrow evening. These meetings are intended to complete the good work already begun here. We desire the prayers of God's dear people. C. A. WASHBURN. G. V. KILGORE.
Sioux City.— Since my last report I have spent two days in this city, and hoped to secure a house in which to give a course of lectures; but not succeeding in this, I concluded to wait for a more favorable time. If a tent should be pitched here, I think labor in both English and Danish would be productive of good results. While here I learned of three or four Danish families living across the Missouri River near Hooper, Nebraska. I visited them, holding two meetings, and selling and giving away our periodicals. Obtained one subscriber for the Tidende. Since then I have labored in Sioux City for about two weeks. Some interest is manifested. We have now a company of eight Sabbath-keepers here. Pray for us. Story City, June 10. JOHN F. HANSON.
