Meetings in Minn.

By Isaac Sanborn; John Bostwick

Pursuant to appointment, we have given about twenty lectures at Enterprise, Minn. It being in harvest we could have but few meetings through the week, and some of the time none. Though there was a good interest to the close of the meetings, none have yet become obedient. As our hearers were mostly first-day Adventists who have had the many conflicting Advent theories presented to them for their reception, it is no great wonder if they are slow to receive the third angel's message, which they never before heard.

Seven who had commenced keeping the Sabbath through reading the Review and books, were baptized last Sabbath, and a church of nine members was organized with s. B. fund of about forty dollars per year, and Sabbath-school and prayer-meeting every Sabbath.

Much now depends on how the members of this little church live and let their light shine before their neighbors. If they are faithful, they will constrain their neighbors to unite with them in glorifying God by keeping all his commandments and the faith of Jesus.
