NEBRASKA

By Chas. L. Boyd

The past four days I have spent holding meetings on Sappa Creek. The result has been the organization of a church of eighteen members, with Bro. Chas. P. Haskell as their elder. A dozen others are keeping the Sabbath, some of whom are bowing to the polluting old tobacco, and others were kept back by obstacles which I trust will yet be surmounted. The church took the name of the Richmond church of Seventh-day Adventists.
The brethren here are poor, yet when the subject of s. b. was presented, they cheerfully subscribed one hundred and eight dollars for the support of the cause. Young men making no profession of religion took part in this work. May they yet find Christ and salvation. Bro. H. A. Jenkins was present and assisted in the meetings. Twelve were baptized, and the exercises closed by celebrating the ordinances of the Lord’s house. The blessing of God rested richly upon us.
Chas. L. Boyd.
