North Dakota

By G. F. Haffner

AFTER the Northern Union Conference I went, in company with Elder George Wagner, to North Dakota, to visit the German churches. The meetings with the different churches were so appointed that we had from one to three services every day. As I could spend only about three weeks in this way, we could stay only a short time with each church, but the time was well improved. The Lord came very near, and at some places sinners were converted to God, and some who were discouraged took new courage to go forward. The Lord blessed in presenting his word, and it had its effect on the hearers. Some confessed that they never paid tithe, and resolved that they would do so. May the Lord help them to keep their promise.

North Dakota has some strong German churches, and the Lord has blessed them in material things. They have raised good crops, and if every one would pay an honest tithe, the conference funds with which to send forth laborers would be doubled. May the time soon come when every believer in this message will show his faith by his works.
