DAKOTA

By S. B. Whitney

Canton, Sept. 15.—The interest here is not very extensive, but is deep on the part of a few. Some opposition is being developed by individuals, that is hindering some from following their convictions. The weather has also been so cool as to materially interfere with our meetings. My head has been troubling me seriously for a few weeks, and taking everything into consideration, I thought it best to close the meetings last evening, leaving Bro. Olsen to follow up the interest and hold Sabbath meetings, while I go east with Mr. Aurner, the husband of Sr. Aurner who attended the General Conference last fall; he is very low with lung difficulty, but hopes to receive benefit at the Sanitarium.

One or two more have decided to keep the Sabbath, and others are in the valley of decision. The Sabbath-school at Sioux Falls is doing finely, having adopted the Instructor lessons throughout, and supplied themselves with the Song Anchor.

Expect to return to my field of labor immediately after General Conference.
