NEBRASKA

By Charles L. Boyd; Daniel Nettleton

Rayville.
Last Thursday, June 27, leaving the tent interest in the care of Brn. Nettleton and Reichard, I went to Rayville and held meetings with the Sabbath-keepers there, over Sabbath and a part of Sunday. Five years ago a part of this company left Wisconsin and came to this State. Some became indifferent, and a part lost sight of the prize and turned back to the world. Last fall, Bro. Worden found us at the tent at Columbus, and earnestly besought assistance. Bro. Nettleton came, and the Master blessed his labors. The Spirit of the Lord preceded the messenger, and the people set their hearts to seek the Lord. Bro. Nettleton labored faithfully; visited from house to house pointing out their sins, and had the satisfaction of seeing some of the wanderers reclaimed, and some new ones added to their number.
My meetings resulted in the organization of a church of thirteen members. Three were baptized, and s. b. was pledged to the amount of $50. One of the candidates for baptism was a child eight years of age. This little girl, and her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were present at the social meeting on the Sabbath, and all bore testimony of their love for the truth. “The third and the fourth generation” keeping the commandments of God, and looking for “that blessed hope.” CHAS. L. BOYD.
Oakdale, July 1.
Our meetings still continue to be well attended, considering the inhabitants of this place. We have canvassed the Sabbath question, and in part the nature of man. The people are reading their Bibles and inquiring if these things are so.
