DAKOTA

By C. L. B. Aurner

Eld. Hanson closed his labors at Swan Lake last week. Four were baptized Dec. 6, and two the Sunday following, making six gathered into the fold by conversion, besides two who came from the Baptist Church. Others are almost ready to obey, and still others think we have the truth of the Bible, if any have it. One of the six young persons baptized was the son of Eld. Frederickson. We all rejoice over his conversion, as the family have passed through severe trials during the past few months.
We thank God for this victory; but all this work is among the Scandinavian people. Can nothing be done for the hundreds and thousands of English-speaking people scattered over Dakota? Are they to see the sign of the Son of man in the heavens without a chance for previous preparation? The ignorance of both clergy and people concerning the will and law of God, is astounding.
