Nebraska Tent.

By J. Bartlett; Chas. L. Boyd

This tent is now pitched in Tekomah, and is ready for meetings to commence to-night.

Tekomah is a small but flourishing town near the Missouri river, and is the county seat of Burt Co.

We closed our labors at Ft. Calhoun last Sunday evening, 10th inst., having been there between three and four weeks, and delivered thirty-six discourses, besides a funeral sermon delivered in the tent.

The most of the residents of Calhoun are farmers. We pitched there at the commencement of harvesting. Help was very scarce, and our congregations were small. As a result of our labors there, nine or ten have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and have embraced other points of Advent faith.

There are several others who are convinced of the truthfulness of our position, but the cross is so heavy they have not yet fully decided to bear it. That they may speedily make this decision, and that those who have already made it may prove faithful, is our earnest desire and prayer to the Master in whose vineyard we labor. Brethren, pray for us.
