Stromsburg, Nebraska.

By A. J. Cudney

I HAVE just had the pleasure of holding several meetings with the church at this place, in company with Bro. Shultz.

The first meeting, Friday evening, was well attended; quite a number being present from other churches. The Spirit of the Lord was present in good measure from the first. The word spoken seemed to be well received.

Sabbath we had two sermons, Sabbath-school, and social meeting, and three were baptized.

Sunday we spoke four times and had social meeting. Deep feeling seemed to pervade every heart. Some bore testimony for the first time. The brethren all expressed themselves as being strengthened and encouraged.

The wants of the missionary work were presented and in a few moments $552 was paid and pledged to help forward the good work. This makes about $2,800 that has been raised in this way in four of our churches during the last few weeks; a portion of which is to be used in the erection of our new office which is now being built.

God is bestowing his blessings upon us in great abundance, for which we feel very grateful. The missionary work is still onward.
