NORTHERN ILLINOIS.

By G. W. Colcord

WINSLOW, Dec. 13.—Bro. A. A. John and myself held five meetings here for the public, besides enjoying one social season. Bro. Ballenger’s younger son made known his desire to be saved. In our business session, first-day, Bro. Brown spoke to the point with reference to tract work. Dist. No. 1 takes its quota of Annuals, and expects to pay for them. Our friends in this part of the State say they believe in the strict tithing system. Will they adopt the system, giving the Lord’s cause one-tenth of all their earnings, and thus prove themselves good stewards over God’s financial favors to them? I hope.
RIDOTT.—Bro. J. F. Ballenger held some meetings here some time ago. People have been reading, and now four of Bro. John’s friends are rejoicing in the light. For others we hope. I spoke to a few in a private house, eve of Dec. 16.
CHICAGO.—Dec. 28, I met Eld. R. F. Andrews in this city. Held, in all, five meetings, besides one short meeting conducted by Bro. Berg, in Norwegian. One was baptized and received by the Scandinavians. We organized a small church of Americans. G. W. Colcord.
