Grand Meadow, Minn.

By N. Battin

MET with the Grand Meadow church Sabbath, Aug. 9. This church have had but little ministerial help for some time; but I found them doing well, sustaining Sabbath meetings and Sabbath-school. They need to make some improvements in their Sabbath-school in the way of procuring maps, record books, and the Song Anchor which they promise soon to do. All have pledged one-tenth of their increase to the Lord. I found a number of young people here who were unconverted, and I labored principally for their conversion. The Lord abundantly blessed the effort, and I had the privilege of baptizing nine of these dear young people, all of whom are children of Sabbath-keepers. During my visit here I circulated the temperance pledges among all, and obtained twenty-six signers to the teetotal pledge, three of whom were young men addicted to the use of tobacco. N. BATTIN.
