Racine Co., Wisconsin.

By John Matteson

During the four weeks preceding the General Conference, we held meetings in Raymond and Norway, mostly in the last-mentioned town. On the way, we stopped at Little Prairie and attended their quarterly meeting. The meetings in Norway were ended sooner than we desired on account of the Conference. The interest to hear was good. We obtained ten subscribers for Advent Tidende; six commenced keeping the Sabbath, and two were baptized.

I am very thankful to God for his blessings in the Conference and the religious meetings that have been held here. God is leading out his servants and giving them right views of the vast importance of this world-wide message, which closes up the proclamation of the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. The spirit of our blessed Master is melting and uniting all hearts that love the Lord. And we, who have come from other lands and nations, are grateful for the privilege of sharing with you in the work, the burdens, the sufferings, and, if faithful, the final glorious victory. I remain here some time to translate, and get out new tracts in the Danish language.

JOHN MATTESON.
