Among the Scandinavians in Minnesota.

Since my last report, I have been laboring at Lake Johanna, Pope Co. The Lutheran minister bitterly opposes the truth. The people here are very ignorant and very much prejudiced; but there are some here who love the truth. June 3, two were baptized. We had a profitable time. The Spirit of the Lord rested on us, and many were moved to tears.
June 4, I visited a little company of Sabbath-keepers in Swift Co. We had eight good meetings. Two were baptized. A church of eight members was organized, the ordinances were celebrated, and a Bible-class was formed. If these brethren are faithful more will soon be added to their number. A few are keeping the Sabbath, and are favorable.
I returned to lake Johanna, the 14th. Five more were baptized, and a church of nine members was organized. We celebrated the ordinances. Brethren, remember this young church in your prayers and also your unworthy brother.
C. Nelson.
