NEWS FROM NORWAY.

By R. Lorenzen

A sister writes from Chicago, as follows:—
“It gives me great pleasure to receive the visits of our dear paper, Advent Tidende, from month to month. Each number, it seems to me, is better than the previous one. I would not be without it, even if it should cost $10.00 a year. On the other hand, I can readily do without the articles of luxury, which it speaks against, such as jewels, artificial flowers and fashionable articles of dress, coffee, tea, etc.
“May the Lord continue to bless our dear paper, and all those who are employed in preparing it. May it bring light to many who are now sitting in darkness, and, instead of following the laws and doctrines of men, may they receive “the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” I will try to get as many new subscribers for the paper as I can.
“Eld. Cornell held two meetings here. He stopped over Sabbath and Sunday on his way from California. We are grateful for every opportunity of hearing the word of God, and feel that the Lord has been very near to us. We want to be prepared for translation when Christ comes.
“We have received a letter from sister Reirsen in Norway. Among other things, she says: “You may believe, dear sister, that there are many voices calling upon us, and you may rejoice that you are among a people who love God and his commandments. My husband and I wish that God would either let us go over to the dear friends across the ocean, or that he would in his providence send somebody from America to preach the third angel’s message, which is now sounding among you, as there are many who are longing to hear the last message of mercy. We have commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and rejoice in the soon coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The people here have become interested in reading the Advent Tidende, and as they cannot resist the truth, we hope that some will receive it, and be prepared for the glorious coming of Jesus, and thus have a home in his everlasting kingdom.” “R. LORENZEN.”
