SALEM, NEBRASKA.

By G. V. Kilgore

At the first place of meetings, near Salem, three ministers opposed the truth. One, a Lutheran, said it was an insult to the holy fathers of the past 1800 years for beardless youths to preach that Sunday is not a sacred day. However, three honest souls embraced the truth here.

At the next place, three miles west, three more have begun to keep the Sabbath. Four others will, if they let their own consciences rule them. And others are fully convinced. But how often “the fear of man bringeth a snare.” At this place there was great opposition; but the Lord blessed me with good freedom and a house full of attentive hearers.

Bro. Wing is still in the vicinity of Salem, and can keep up Sabbath meetings.

I began meetings, Jan. 6, ten miles south of Nebraska City. Three have begun to keep the Sabbath already. Have had two good Sabbath meetings. The Lord was with us. G. V. KILGORE.
