Winstead, McLeod Co., Feb. 5.—We commenced labor at this place Jan. 15. The interest has increased as our work has progressed. Seven kept last Sabbath, and as many more are convinced. The interest continues. The large school-house in which our meetings are held is often filled with attentive hearers. H. W. Babcock. E. A. Curtis.

Todd Co.—From Dec. 13 to Feb. 4, I held meetings with the brethren at Burnhamville. The outside interest was small and prejudice strong.

I am now holding meetings at Birch Dale, Fuller's school-house, with a good interest, and an almost general turnout. Plenty of doors are opened to me. Four Catholics attended meeting once, and expressed their feeling against the truth by saying that that man should be arrested. James S. Brower.

Maple Plain, Feb. 7.—A few here, we do not know how many yet, have decided to obey the truth. Prejudice has been bitter, and the undercurrent of opposition strong. We were driven from the school-house after holding meetings two weeks, but our friends hired a hall, and there was no interruption of our meetings. Have given the prophecies, the law, the Sabbath, and the messages. Our congregations have been small, but are now on the increase. The Lord has given strength and clearness, and we think the spirit of inquiry is widening and deepening.

Our courage is good, and our faith in the message stronger than ever before. We believe the Lord will give some fruit, and we labor on in hope. D. P. Curtis. W. Walker.
