MISSIONARY WORK IN NEBRASKA.
By L. A. Hoopes
OUR camp meeting season for this year is in the past. We can say that it has not been discouraging. There have been more conversions and baptisms at the meetings this year than in any previous year. The camp meetings have had a widespread influence in the communities where they have been held. I speak of the Curtis meeting particularly. The country for miles around seems stirred about present truth. Many are inquiring about our faith. Some are embracing it. There seems to be an awakening all over the State. There are far more calls for labor than we have ministers to answer. The canvassing work is moving along with fair results. The brethren are of good courage and the Lord is blessing their efforts. We can attribute much of the rising interest in Nebraska to the efforts that have been put forth by our God-fearing canvassers. We are pleased to note that where our societies have taken hold of the work of sending out the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, it has revived and kept alive the missionary spirit in their midst, and invariably an interest has been the result of their efforts. We have this to look back to, that the papers which were distributed in the years that are past are bearing fruit now. When we go into those communities where it was circulated, the people tell us that at such a time they read the SIGNS, or that such a person had been there taking orders for the SIGNS. In this way a knowledge of the Third Angel's Message has been introduced. We feel encouraged about the good work that the SIGNS is doing. We are making preparation to do more extensive and thorough work in this line this coming year. We read the circular reports of what the SIGNS is doing with much interest. It is a help to us in our work. We shall not be contented until we see all our societies doing what they can to forward the circulation of this excellent messenger of light.
