Dodge Center and Riesland, Jan. 16.

We started our work for the winter with the Dodge Center church. Found them all steadfast. Assisted them in securing a good place for holding meetings. Held four meetings at a school-house near Bro. Storer’s, ten miles from Owatonna, with good attendance and interest. At Geneva we held two meetings.

We next visited the Riesland (Danish) church. Have had a good interest. A good company of young people are becoming deeply interested. Last Sabbath we assisted in organizing a Sabbath-school in English, of twenty-two members, and a Bible-class in Danish. One woman commenced to keep the Sabbath, and her husband, who had once kept it, but had fallen away in practice, we think, will now take hold of it determinedly.

Others are interested. Have given two discourses at the Sumner school-house, in an adjoining town, with good audiences and close attention. Bro. Devereaux has scattered some of our tracts, and has tried to live the truth here for the past two years. We have an appointment for to-morrow evening, and, if the interest demands it, we shall stop here for a few days.

The work in this vicinity is still progressing favorably. Prejudice is giving way, and the attendance is good. Last Sabbath over twenty were out, and a Bible-class was organized. Pray for us.
