By John Matteson

I have attended the camp-meetings in Wisconsin and Minnesota. These were meetings of deep interest and great importance. We felt disappointed in not meeting our dear Bro. and sister White there, yet the Lord met with us, and our spirits were refreshed. The work of God is onward, and we feel encouraged to labor on in the good work.
During the last year, I have not lost a single week; but have labored fifty-two weeks, preaching and writing; yet I now feel stronger, spiritually and physically, than at the beginning of the year, for which I feel thankful to the Lord. Most of my time has been spent in preaching in new fields. Before the camp-meeting in Wisconsin, I used forty-one days exclusively for writing, and prepared manuscript for six numbers of Advent Tidende, so that I am now four numbers in advance, and, consequently, free to go out into the field.
The work among the Scandinavians is increasing in magnitude and importance, and there are many more openings than we possibly can supply. At present, I am with Bro. Charles Lee, among the Swedes, and it appears that God also has wrought a good work here.
