MINNESOTA

By D. P. Curtis

BRO. ELLS and myself are still laboring in this section, notwithstanding the wrath of the dragon which manifests itself in determined opposition from all classes, but especially from the Adventists. Some of these have treated us with great kindness and courtesy, while others are very bitter against us. Eld. Welcome is taking especial pains, both in public and private, to speak against our views—not on Bible grounds, but by misrepresenting our positions.

We have felt that the Strong Arm has sustained us thus far, and we give glory to God for the freedom and power which he gives us in defending his precious truth. We rejoice in the clear light which he is shedding on his blessed word, and that some souls, even here, are being led by that light into the truth, and being set free from the shackles of error which have heretofore bound them. About a dozen have taken their stand for God and his holy law, in the different neighborhoods where we have labored. Others have become deeply interested in the truth, but whether they will take a decided stand is yet to be seen. We shall remain here the present week, at least. Pray for us. D. P. CURTIS.
