Kiron, May 19.—I have been here about five weeks visiting from house to house, distributing tracts and papers, and speaking to the people on the important truths for the last days. The hearers are attentive. There seem to be those here who love the truth. How many will have the courage to take a stand, remains to be determined. I have had the privilege of meeting with the Swedish Sabbath-keepers for a few Sabbaths past. We hope to see the Sabbath-school and Sabbath meeting which they have organized, a success. In the Sabbath-school the weekly Instructor and Swedish Harold have been used as helps. Bro. and Sr. Wakeman, who are teachers in the town, have rendered efficient aid. We have obtained several new subscribers for the Swedish paper.

Sloan.—Since my last report I have labored four miles from Sloan, in Woodbury Co., and about the same distance from Seargent’s Bluffs, near by. I have had some tokens of the Lord’s care and love for mankind in giving them the truth for the time. At the two places there are but few Danes, and hence no good chance for giving a full course of lectures, but I have held some meetings, sold some books, and seven have subscribed for the Harold and Tidende. Some good has been done.
