Lincoln, Nebraska.

By A. J. Cudney

OUR tent-meetings have been going on in this city five weeks. This, with three weeks of tent-meetings held last October, including camp-meeting week, constitutes all the public services we have been able to hold in the place. As a result of these meetings, and the Bible readings conducted in private families last winter, there are now about thirty-five adults here who are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. These, with some others who were keeping the Sabbath before coming here, swell the number of Sabbath-keepers now in the city to about forty-five. We hope to see others start soon.

About two-thirds of those who have embraced the truth have been members of other denominations, while the remainder have had their hearts quickened by the Spirit of God for the first time, under the preaching of the Third Angel's Message. Several different trades and professions are represented by those who have identified themselves with us.

Although some have greatly feared that keeping the Sabbath would throw them out of employment, yet those who have tried it find but little difficulty in that direction. "Where there is a will, there is a way," and "God will always help him who helps himself." We trust that our people will pray that the truth may gain a firm foothold here in our capital city.
