Dakota.

By G. W. P.

Since the Review commenced to make its regular visits here about a year ago, there have been a good many investigating the subjects upon which it treats, and quite a stir has been made among the people. One man has been persuaded to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and several others are deeply interested.

We had a modern M. E. revival here during the past winter. There were over one hundred converts. The preacher, in his sermon three weeks ago, dealt a blow at Adventism by referring to its recent origin and declaring that they (the Seventh-day Adventists) are continually setting a time for the world to burn up. He said the last time they set was the 19th of April. I took occasion the next Sunday to read the article in the Review about Mr. Thurman's setting the time, and when the people saw that the preacher had misrepresented the question to them, the blow recoiled on his own cause. There are several of his members excited in favor of the truth. Come to Dakota and help us.
