ALSTRUP, DENMARK.

By John G. Matteson

The harvest has come. The fields are full of grain. The people are very busy. There is no chance to hold meetings in the country except on Sabbath and first-day. I am very busy writing for the TIDENDE. Missionary letters are also called for every week.

Last week, after an absence of nearly three months, I visited the brethren in Tylstrup and held four meetings with them. I found the brethren seeking the Lord, and keeping the Sabbath faithfully, with a few exceptions. One family has moved to America, and some have moved to other parts, yet they have continued to hold Sabbath meetings.

We had meetings here Sabbath and Sunday. The last was well attended. We long very much for the brethren to come from America. This would be an excellent time for tent-meetings in some of the cities of Norway, and there are some who desire to see us. But I cannot manage a tent alone, and the time is flying swiftly. May the Lord direct in all things for his glory.
