AN URGENT CALL.

The following is the translation of a German postal card received at this Office from Lone Tree, Bon Homme county, Dakota:—

Beloved Brethren in the Lord: If it be possible, send to Dakota a German preacher, for here the German nationality is well represented, and we wish to become better acquainted with your views. It is our sincere wish that a German should come here, with whom we could converse in our own language. There are a few Americans here with whom we are acquainted; but having but a limited knowledge of the English, we cannot converse with them as freely as we should like to. To-morrow, Sabbath, we shall visit Bro. ——. Bro. Eldor, and Bro. H. Bullen from Sweden, were here last Sabbath. We are here a company of four who keep the Sabbath; and on Beautiful River are twenty more, and in Alewed four more, who also keep the Sabbath. And we hope the Lord will turn many more hearts to a knowledge of the truth. We should be pleased to receive a visit from a German S. D. Adventist preacher.

Your brother in the Lord. V. L., Dec. 10, 1878.
