Pine Island, Minn

By H. F. Phelps

Minnesota.

My labors at Frankfort are now closed for the present. Have been here five weeks. It has been a very busy time with the people. Most all are poor, and have to work hard, and I could only hold three or four meetings a week. It has not been very encouraging to labor here. But as there was no time for work in a new field before camp-meeting I have kept on trying to do what I could. The attendance was varying. But for the first four weeks quite a good interest existed with several who attended, and several were quite free to admit that we had the truth as to the Sabbath. But the quarterly meeting of the Methodists was on hand, and they waited.

Four have taken their stand for the truth; so there are eight here now. They will have Sabbath meetings. Obtained one subscriber for REVIEW and three for the Instructor. Others are interested, and are meeting opposition, but are determined to sift the truth from error, and follow truth at all hazards. The cause of God is onward in Minnesota. Courage, brethren, in the Lord. Let us be up and doing. I am trying to get nearer the Lord. H. F. PHELPS.
