Minnesota Conference

The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Oct 4, 1864

Minnesota Conference.

BRO. WHITE: Our State Conference has just closed. It was one of the best meetings ever enjoyed by us in the State; not because we had the best preaching, but because there was a disposition manifested on the part of brethren and sisters universally to settle down into the work. Our social meeting was the best we ever enjoyed in the State. Fifty cheering testimonies were given in quick succession.

The brethren and sisters of Minnesota are beginning to take hold of the work. We had good freedom in presenting some portions of our faith to the people. Some acknowledged the truth on the Sabbath, and promised to obey. Two young women took up their cross and followed their Lord in baptism. The cause in Minnesota was never in a more prospering condition. The labors of Bro. Sanborn the past summer have helped us much.

New fields of labor will be visited the ensuing Conference year, and with the help of the Lord, a good work will be accomplished we trust.
