Report from Bro. Matteson.
By John Matteson
MEETINGS among the Danes in this place have now continued some over a week, and the interest to hear is good. The attendance has varied from forty to eighty. Considerable prejudice existed in the beginning, but much of it has been removed. Most of the Baptists attend, and are friendly to us. In their first prayer-meeting, they would not permit me to speak; but now they are willing that I should take the lead of their prayer-meeting. We occupy the same house, a convenient school-house. There is another religious society who meet twice a week in the same room; but they have kindly given up their meetings as long as I shall remain. There is no open opposition manifest. I believe there are some honest souls here, and pray that the Lord may give wisdom and grace to bring them into the truth. Neenah, Wis., May 29, 1871.
