DAKOTA

By D. T.; G. W. Pond

Dear Review: I thought it might interest some of your readers to know how the cause of truth is progressing out here in Dakota. About three years ago, Bro. Gipson's family moved to this place, and like earnest laborers in the cause of truth they scattered the tracts, which prepared the minds of the people to receive Brn. Farnsworth and Barlow in Elk Point this summer. Five persons from this place signed the covenant at their meetings and organized a class at the school-house here in Pleasant Grove; and we have had Sabbath-school and class meetings every Sabbath, and prayer-meetings Tuesday evening ever since, and the Lord has greatly blessed our effort. We have added to the list from Sabbath to Sabbath until there are sixteen who have concluded to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and more seem about to follow.

Brethren and sisters in the Lord, pray for the class at Pleasant Grove. D. T.

G. W. Pond.
