IOWA AND NEBRASKA.

By E. W. Farnsworth

After our meeting at Sigourney closed, I spent two evenings with the church at Knoxville. I spoke one evening, and Bro. Starr, who was with me, the following evening.

April 27 and 28 I spent with the church at Nebraska City, Neb. The little company here have been faithful under some discouragements, and God has blessed them. The preaching was much of it practical, and it was well received. I set before them the importance of sustaining the cause, not only by our prayers, but by our means. An opportunity was then given to pledge s. B., when almost every one responded cheerfully, and I think quite liberally. God will bless the cheerful giver.

From Nebraska City I went to Weeping Water, where Bro. Hackworth has been laboring. About twenty are keeping the Sabbath here as the result of his labor. We intended to organize a church, but on account of the sickness of some, and the violent rain storms which kept many from attending, it was thought best to postpone the organization for a time. I obtained several subscribers for our periodicals, and labored as best I could. We think there can be a strong church organized here, if the friends prove faithful.
