The Danes.

By John Matteson

Among the Danish friends in the vicinity of Poy Sippi, Wis., I labored about two weeks. The interest to hear was good, and ten more have started to keep the commandments of God. Things here have looked very dark for some time past. Mistakes have been made. Much opposition has been encountered. And for two years and a half they have had no labor or encouragement. But the prospect is brightening above our expectations. The Lord has moved on the people. The brethren feel encouraged. Some have commenced to serve the Lord, and there is a good prospect of others’ coming into the truth if the brethren will be faithful. I am now attending the meetings in this place, which, so far, have been very profitable and deeply interesting.
