Kiron, April 30.—I have been here nearly three weeks, and have held nine public meetings, besides meeting with the Swedish Sabbath-keepers two Sabbaths. They have formed a Sabbath-school. Sixteen were present each day. Bro. Wakeham and his sister, who teach school in the settlement, have rendered efficient help. The school takes a club of six Instructors. The Swedish class use the questions in the Swedish paper. I have obtained four subscribers for the Swedish Herald. Some desire to know if it is the truth which is presented, and we pray daily for the Spirit of God to seal conviction to the hearts of the honest. JAMES SAWYER,
Monona Co.—I came to Onawa, Monona Co., April 18, but the Scandinavians here did not want to hear these doctrines. This was discouraging to me, but God is my helper. Praise his holy name.
On the 19th and 26th I spoke in English to the brethren of the Belvidere church, I trust with good effect.
In this vicinity, or near the Moorhead post-office, I have held six meetings among as many Danish families. They all think what I preach is good, but I am afraid there are some stumbling-blocks among the church members that will hinder the prosperity of the cause. I have obtained six subscribers to the Tidende. JOHN F. HANSON.
