FROM Les Signes des Temps we take the following report from Elder J. G. Matteson in Stockholm:—
"I am working now in Orébro, with Brother Johnson. I have passed five months in Stockholm, during which time I have held 158 meetings, visited 115 families, baptized 32 persons, and received 51 members into the church (which now numbers 66). With others who keep the Sabbath and attend meeting, we have about 70 Sabbath observers. During this time about 2,000 persons have heard the truth. On the last day of meetings, we had in the forenoon about 200 hearers; and in the afternoon about 250. They testified to their appreciation of the truth by depositing 250 francs ($30) on the plates, as well as by their amiable adieux, and invitations to return."
"During my sojourn in Stockholm, I have received 1,545 francs in gifts, and 187 subscriptions for our journals, for which we have received 431 francs."
