FOREST CITY, IOWA.

By J. H. Durland

Our meetings at this place closed Sept. 20. I have visited during the week, and held meetings on the Sabbath. As the result of our labors here so far, ten have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and have signed the covenant. These, with those who were keeping the Sabbath when we came, make a society of about thirty-five. Several have commenced to keep the Sabbath who have not signed the covenant. We have organized a Sabbath-school of about forty-five members. We hold our meetings in a school-house about one mile from town. About one-half of the Sabbath-keepers here are Scandinavians. They greatly desire a minister of their own tongue to come and labor with them.

Will the brethren and sisters pray for the work here, that it may prosper. J. H. Durland.
