NEBRASKA

By H. Shultz

Saunders Co., May 6.—I held a quarterly meeting with the Stromsburg church in our new meeting-house. The Spirit of the Lord came in, and we all felt it was good to be there. One was taken into the church by vote. Union and harmony prevail.

From here I went to the Blue Valley church, where I attended the district quarterly meeting of the T. and M. society. We all felt encouraged to engage more earnestly in the work of the tract society. In connection with this meeting, the church held their quarterly meeting. We celebrated the ordinances of the Lord’s house. This was a precious season to our souls. Our hearts were made glad by several new ones taking their stand to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

From this meeting I accompanied Bro. Hurlburt to his home in Saunders county. In this place Bro. Hurlburt had succeeded in establishing a Sunday-school. Using our books, the neighbors became interested in studying prophecy, and were led to search for present truth. I have held meetings with these friends for the last two weeks. Last Sabbath was a good day for this little church. The Spirit of the Lord seemed to walk through the congregation, until there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. Ten were added to the church, and the Sunday-school has become a Sabbath-school. Sunday forenoon, five were buried with their Lord in baptism. May the blessing of the Lord rest on this little company. H. SHULTZ.
