Sabbath Keepers and Danish Literature in Neenah
By John Matteson
BRO. WHITE: September 28, I stopped in Neenah, being on my return home, and found three families keeping the Sabbath, as a result of the meetings which had been held. These brethren were Danish, in which language the meetings had been conducted. We feel very much the want of books in that language. I think here would be a good field to labor in the English language, but I believe that a more efficient workman than myself would be needed to present the truth in its beauty and strength. We have now closed our quarterly meeting in this place, and the Lord has been with us and blessed us. His good Spirit united our hearts together, and we felt encouraged and strengthened. Five sisters joined our church, three of whom were baptized. May the Lord revive his work and prepare his people for the everlasting kingdom. JOHN MATTESON.
