Kandiyohi Co., Dec. 26.

We have been laboring in Kandiyohi Co. The work has gone forward slowly so far; but the truth is surely finding its way to the hearts of the people. Some have already decided to obey God, and others are favorably impressed. Two ministers have been helping us some by preaching in favor of Sunday-keeping.

Lake Johanna.

I HAVE been laboring at a place about twelve miles west of Lake Johanna. Here I found some good souls who were strict believers in the Bible, and who, as some of them said, could find no fault with the law of God; but they had no light in regard to our views. They searched the Scriptures daily, and moved very understandingly, as I spoke to them the word of truth. I obtained six subscribers to the THUNDER. Six signed the covenant; and from twelve to sixteen, I think, will keep the Lord’s Sabbath. Sabbath meetings were established, and a leader appointed, and a Sabbath-school was organized. I trust a good church will soon spring up here.

Pray that the truth may prosper among the Scandinavians in Minnesota and in other places, and remember me also.
