WESTERN MINNESOTA.

By G. M. Dommick

May 6, 7, in company with Bro. Grant, I met with the company which came out under my labors at Golden Gate. We organized a church of fifteen, baptized seven, and left them rejoicing in the truth.
May 9, 10, we met with the brethren at Lower Agency, where Bro. Call and myself had labored together. We found them still holding on to the truth. We held two meetings with them, organized a church of twelve, baptized nine, and then left them rejoicing in hope of eternal life.
May 13, 14, I met with the brethren at Koronis. This church needs assistance. Some are very much behind on health reform, and strongly oppose any advancement in that direction. I exhorted them to move with more zeal in this great work. While some members of this church are falling behind, others continue earnest and faithful. One was added to the church.
I spent May 16, 17, with the little company at Burbank. Bro. Ells gave a course of lectures at this place, and ten or twelve commenced to keep the Sabbath. I found them in earnest. I organized a church of nine members, and baptized seven.
From this place I went to Grove Lake, where I held meetings May 20, 21. I found them still faithful. I was much blessed while preaching to these dear brethren. This church is composed of earnest workers; as a consequence many have been added to their number since the church was organized. On first-day I baptized three.
May 27, 28, I met with the company at Lake Ellen. Bro. Collins had labored here, and a few had received the truth. I remained here nearly two weeks, and God blessed my efforts. The brethren were strengthened, and others were added. I organized a church of fifteen, and baptized nine.
From camp-meeting, I went to Berlin township, Steele Co., accompanied by Bro. Battin. We pitched our tent and began meetings June 30. Prejudice was very strong here, and our congregations were small. Many are convinced, but none have yet taken a stand.
On account of lack of interest, we left that place and pitched our tent in the little village of Geneva, four miles south of Berlin. We have now (July 18) held one meeting. There seems to be but little prejudice here. The people manifest a great desire to hear. We hope, by the blessing of God, to be able to accomplish much good.
