MINNEAPOLIS.—Our tent effort began July 7 and closed September 22, with a good attendance and interest. The location was good, the tent being pitched near a car-line. We were not disturbed during the meetings, and the weather was very favorable, with the exception of one storm that threatened to destroy the tent. Never did I enjoy a tent effort more than I did this one. Among the workers there was love and harmony at all times. The attendance was large, and on an average greater than I have seen in the past.

Between two hundred and three hundred sets of the “Family Bible Teacher” were carried by number to as many families. Thus we were in constant contact with the people, continually announcing to them the subjects handled at the tent, thereby saving much expense in advertising.

The meetings are being continued at our church, 2214 Sixth Street S., where baptism was administered to four persons in the presence of a large congregation on Friday evening, October 4. One sister, who is severely persecuted by her husband, was quietly baptized the afternoon of the same day, making five in all. The following Sabbath, which was quarterly meeting day, the right hand of fellowship was extended to those persons, who then joined in the celebration of the ordinances of the Lord’s house. The occasion was a blessed one because of the deep movings of the Spirit of God. There are other new converts keeping and the Sabbath who desired to be baptized, but were hindered from doing so at this time. These we hope will soon be able to go forward.

We are of good courage and thankful to the Lord, who hath accounted us worthy to labor in his vineyard.
