NEBRASKA

By Charles L. Boyd

According to appointment, I held meetings with the church at Decatur, May 19 and 20. They have been passing through some dark places, yet I trust a brighter pathway lies before them. At this meeting, Bro. M. D. Clark was ordained elder, and a young man who has lately commenced to keep the Sabbath was baptized, and united with the church.
The 26th and 27th I held meetings at York Creek, and organized a church of thirteen members. Bro. Geo. Dawson was elected elder, and Bro. O. H. Shelden deacon. Systematic benevolence was pledged amounting to one hundred dollars.
This State is a new field of labor, it being only two years last April since the second church was organized; but, although there has been but little ministerial labor bestowed here, there are now twelve organized churches holding their regular Sabbath meetings, with a membership of about two hundred, among whom there is not, to my knowledge, one tobacco-user. I thank God for a religion which cleanses man both soul and body. May the Lord speed it onward until it has accomplished that whereunto it is sent. CHAS. L. BOYD.
