CHARLES LEE

By Charles Lee

Minnesota.

I HAVE continued my labor among the Swedes, and though I have had a great opposition, I have met with some success. The priests have done all they possibly could do to withstand me, so as to hinder me in my effort to lay the truth before the people. They have written in their periodicals the most detestable falsehoods against me. They have gathered their friends for the purpose of disturbing us at our gatherings, and to break up our meetings. They have shut their school-houses against me, and forbidden me to enter within their colonies; and I, the “false prophet,” as they call me, have been the great theme of their discourses in the pulpit as well as at their camp-meetings. But still, in the strength of the mighty God, I have ventured on to seek the scattered and perishing sheep.

My fields of labor have been in three different places, and in all those places there are now some that keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and are trying to get ready for the coming of Jesus.

In Chicago Lake, Chicago Co., where I have been of late laboring, there are twelve that are keeping the Sabbath, and seven of them desire to become organized into a church. May God keep them in his care, and impart strength to them, that they may continue to serve him, and at last receive eternal life in his kingdom.

I hope that the brethren will remember me in their prayers.
