THE SCANDINAVIAN WORK IN KANSAS.
By S. MORTENSON
SINCE the fifteenth of January, 1899, it has been my privilege to preach the last warning message among the Swedes near Herndon, Kan. Brethren A. E. Johnson and H. Auderson have assisted me occasionally. The Baptist brethren showed their kindness in letting us use their church for a long time. The Lord blessed the precious seed, and as a result we organized a Sabbath-school of over twenty members. At the beginning of the week of prayer, Elder L. Johnson came, and afterward Elder J. W. Westphal also arrived. The Lord blessed our meetings, and December 29 we organized a church of fourteen members. The next Sabbath we celebrated the ordinances of the Lord’s house. It was a pleasure to see how the Holy Spirit imparted joy and gladness to the hearts of these brethren, and united them in one heart and one soul. After making two visits among our Scandinavian brethren, I will, according to an invitation of our leading brethren, go to Chicago to assist Elder G. G. Johnson in the Swedish work there. S. MORTENSON.
