JOHN MATTESON

By John Matteson

From Bro. Matteson.

BRO. WHITE: June 5th I commenced a series of meetings in New Denmark, some in that place being anxious to hear the truth. I held sixteen meetings. Six individuals decided to keep the commandments of God, and unite with the remnant people. Two were baptized. Several others have commenced to keep holy the Sabbath of the Lord, but have not yet fully decided to receive present truth. May the Lord help them to see their duty clearly.

I held two meetings in Manitowoc. Some interest was manifested.

June 29th, commenced meetings near Appleton. Found two brethren trying to keep the commandments. Held five meetings. Some gave heed and believed the word spoken. They were desirous to hear more, but circumstances at home called me away. I trust our kind heavenly Father, who has commenced to bring his remnant people into the unity of the faith, will also open the way here, and raise up a church to his own glory.

July 4th, I arrived home and found the brethren still enjoying good meetings and pressing on their way to the kingdom. There is a wide field in this northern part of Wisconsin, where the third angel's message has never been preached. May the Lord work with his people, and we be ready for the coming of our beloved Master.
