Present Truth in Southern Minnesota
By E. W. Darling
BRO. WHITE: For the encouragement of the lonely ones I would say that after patient waiting, we now realize that which we hoped would come. We are privileged with hearing a course of lectures on present truth by Bro. Bostwick. This region is but thinly settled therefore the congregations are not large, but the interest is good, and though some seem to say, My farms my merchandise &c., yet these are those who are deeply interested and give every evidence of a determination to know and obey the truth. Meetings are held in two districts and there is a call from a third which will doubtless be answered in due time. I could name several places and communities where a hearing might be had. We think southern Minn. a favorable field for labor. We listened to a discourse last evening on the two laws. It rejoiced us to have the law of God exalted to its true position. The testimony in its favor was plain and clear. O, God speed on thy message is the prayer of my heart. E. W. DARLING.
