Omaha, Neb.

By George B. Starr

I HAVE distributed over 1,600 pages of tracts, and quite a number of papers. Sold about $7.00 worth of books, and obtained three subscribers for the Signs, one for the Swedish Harold, and sixteen for Good Health. One young man has commenced to keep the Sabbath here. He resigned his situation as telegraph operator at $62.50 a month, thinking it would be of no avail to ask the company to make arrangements by which he could still keep it, as they work their employees seven days in the week, and there were plenty of young men ready to take his place. But the superintendent, without solicitation, offered to put a young man in his place one day in the week, and still retain him in their employ. We believe God moved upon his heart to do so. This young man may make a valuable laborer, as he speaks Swedish, German, and American languages, and could labor in these different tongues. He is already doing missionary work.
