MINNESOTA

By D. P. Curtis

We have continued our work here in New Auburn with increasing interest. Our congregations range from fifty to eighty. We have canvassed the prophecies, messages, and the Sabbath. A large proportion of the congregation are convinced of the truth of our positions. Three or four families commenced to obey God by keeping last Sabbath. I think others will follow. On Sabbath we had a good meeting. Several of the Round Grove brethren, one family from Glencoe, and a number of S. D. Baptist families met with us, and the Lord gave us a good measure of the promised Spirit, to encourage and strengthen. We feel hopeful of good results, to God's glory, and the salvation of some precious souls. We desire to come so near to the Lord that he can work through us to make the message effectual in gathering out a company who shall be “to the praise of the

glory of his grace,” “when his glory shall be revealed.”

Bro. Ellis has gone home intending to return, if the Lord will, the latter part of next week. Providentially, Bro. Batten has joined me for a few days in Bro. E's absence. Our courage is good; and our confidence in God, and in the truth of this message, is growing stronger with each succeeding day. We believe that our brethren have prayed for us: we ask you to pray for us still.

D. P. CURTIS.
