MINNESOTA

By Harrison Grant; L. H. Ellis

West Union, English Grove, and Grove Lake.

At West Union we held ten meetings, with good interest. Two commenced to keep the Sabbath; others were very much interested. We regretted to leave this field, as we think more would have been accomplished could we have staid another week.

March 13, we commenced meetings at English Grove, so near Lake Ellen that the members of that church could attend our meetings. The Lord blessed our labors here. Fourteen commenced to keep the Sabbath, seven were baptized, and eleven were added to the Lake Ellen church. Our short stay here bound our hearts to this people, and as we left them they expressed gratitude to God for sending them the truth.

We commenced meetings at Grove Lake, April 1. Held eleven meetings. We found this church somewhat discouraged. Faith and hope were waning. But the Spirit of God was in all our meetings, and we never spent a week more satisfactorily. Three commenced to keep the Sabbath.

As the result of the past five weeks’ labor, nineteen have embraced the truth; $120 have been added to the S. B.; and these churches have been very much encouraged, and all have determined to work more earnestly.
