Grundy Co., Iowa.

By John Matteson

I have closed my labors among the Danes here at present, and am on my way to Marshalltown, where there seems to be a good opening. For the last three weeks the interest has been good, and some souls have been gained for the truth. Twenty-five are keeping the Sabbath. Nine of these had commenced before I came. Sabbath and first-day seventeen willing souls were buried with Christ in baptism. We have commenced to organize a church of nineteen members. Others will join when there shall be another opportunity for baptism. I intend to return and labor more with them before leaving this State. It has been a source of great joy to see souls converted—some of them from drinking, swearing and tobacco-using—to the Lord, and to hear them call in humble, earnest prayer on the name of the Lord.
