Isanti, Isanti Co., Minn.
By John Matteson
In this place, I have labored a week among our Swedish friends in company with Bro. Lee. There has been a good interest to hear. We have held two meetings each day, most of the time; no evening meetings. Number of hearers, from thirty to seventy. The people are busy with their hay, otherwise we would have had many more hearers. A church is organized, with fifteen members. Seven or more, besides these, are keeping the Sabbath, and there is a good prospect of many more embracing the truth in this vicinity when more labor can be bestowed. Bro. John Larson was unanimously chosen and ordained as local elder. They have pledged $44.00 s. B. to the Conference for this year, and desire to unite with the Conference. The address of the Secretary is: Andrew Norin, Isanti, Isanti Co., Minn. I have enjoyed much freedom in speaking the word among these friends. The Lord has worked among them, and they manifest such a love for the truth that we cannot but praise the Lord for his goodness to them and to us. Litchfield, Meeker Co., July 23, 1873.
