DACOTAH TERRITORY.

By O. F. Frederickson

The light of present truth was first spread here, by reading the Advent Tidende nearly two years ago. Several families commenced to observe the Lord’s Sabbath, but after a few months a worldly spirit crept in, and through discouragements, all but one family lost their interest in the truth, and finally gave up. This family continually called for ministerial help. Finally, the Lord sent our brother John F. Hanson to teach the truth in our midst, and the cause has moved steadily forward since that time, for which I bless the Lord.”
Since going forward in the ordinance of baptism I have felt the sweet blessing of the Lord continually, and my peace has been like a river.
There are now four families of us who have covenanted together to keep God’s holy commandments, and we feel his blessing each week in our Sabbath meetings, which continue full of interest to us who want to learn the way of truth more perfectly.
We feel the greatest gratitude to God for the labor received from his servant; and have it in our hearts to make payment for the same; and would do so if the grasshoppers had not left us so destitute, they having taken nearly all our crops, leaving us barely enough for bread and seed; but we hope by the blessing of the Lord, to be able in the future to help in his cause. In behalf of the friends, O. F. FREDERICKSON.
