NEBRASKA

By Chas. L. Boyd

After my last report, I met with the Seward church. Our Sabbath and Sunday meetings were held in a school-house which prejudice had before closed against one of our ministers. This was more central than the places where meetings are usually held. Prejudice seemed to be giving way, and quite an outside interest was manifest. One was baptized, and three were received into the church. Bro. Hurlbert joined me Nov. 23, and that evening we organized a T. and M. Society.

The next evening we commenced meetings at Blue Valley, where we remained one week. The last day of our meeting here, the funeral discourse of Bro. Hedgecock’s oldest son was preached. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the church and the writer.

I held meetings with the Farmer’s Valley church, Dec. 1–3. The ordinances of the Lord’s house were celebrated, and two were received into the church. A Tract and Missionary Society was organized.

I trust these meetings have been profitable to the churches, and that some who were bowed down with trials have been strengthened.

Bro. Hurlbert assisted much in these meetings. CHAS. L. BOYD.
