Racine, Wis.

By John Matteson

I have held meetings among the Scandinavians in Racine about four weeks. There have been much prejudice and opposition; yet a few have embraced the truth. There is a company now of eleven who meet on the Sabbath for worship, and Wednesday evening for prayer. Several others are investigating. Two were buried in baptism first-day afternoon in Lake Michigan.
In Chicago, the cause is still onward. Five have embraced the commandments since I left.
The last two months have been much occupied with writing. I have written for two and a half numbers of Advent Tidende and for tracts, in all about 200 pp. foolscap, besides reading proof and other correspondence and holding eight or ten meetings a week.
We are thankful to our American brethren and especially to Bro. White for helping us along in getting the truth before our countrymen. May the Lord continue to add his blessing for the salvation of precious souls. JOHN MATTESON.
