NEW BRUNSWICK.

By James Sawyer

Undine, Victoria Co., Sept. 8.
On my way here, in company with Bro. Gelotte, I visited the French settlement where we had left tracts and the priest had forbidden the people to read them. One man requested us to explain the chart in his family. He seemed interested, and we left him a French paper. The post-master takes LES SIGNES DES TEMPS.
In New Brunswick we found a home with the Danish minister. He and the leading man of the colony questioned us very closely. The minister said he knew about the bad work Eld. Matteson was doing in his native land, and he should be sorry to have these views discussed in the little colony in New Brunswick; but after we had explained the chart, and had conversed with him in regard to the signs of the times, he said he agreed with us except on the Sabbath.
Sunday morning we attended church with him, and then went to fill an appointment on the west bank of the St. Johns River. We have held nine meetings on both sides of the river. The interest is good. Opposition came in yesterday; but the speakers went so far that most of the people were disgusted. The people invite us to their homes. Bro. Gelotte has returned to New Sweden. We have not been able to distribute many tracts on account of cautions from the leading Danes.
