The Work Prospering in Chicago.

By E. G. Rust, H. C. Miller, E. D. Place

Bro. WHITE: We would like to mention through the Review, that the Lord is at work for us here in Chicago, and that we desire to humble ourselves under his mighty hand, that in due time we may be exalted. We desire to do all the good we can in the cause we love.

Since we came here, we have tried to search out those who would listen, and in our weakness to spread the last message of mercy before them, that such as are honest in heart might be saved. God has greatly blessed us in our feeble endeavors. Six have pronounced for the Lord, and are trying to leave the world, their idols, and obey God. Others are interested, some of whom we have good hope may decide for the truth and the Lord.

We have now established meetings, and meet regularly at the house of Bro. and Sr. Place, No. 40 Griswold street, near the Michigan Southern depot, every Sabbath at two o'clock P. M., and Tuesday evenings. The Lord meets with us by his Spirit. There are now ten in all who are trying to keep the Sabbath. We need the help of some of our brethren in the ministry very much. May the Lord lead some one to come over to Chicago to help us. To this end, we cordially invite all preaching brethren, as well as all other brethren and sisters stepping in, or passing through Chicago, to call on us and attend our meetings at No. 40 Griswold street. We need the help of our brethren in the Lord.

We would also be very glad to have yourself and Sr. White stop with and help us whenever you may be passing this way. Pray for us that the Lord's work may still be carried on here.

E. G. RUST, H. C. MILLER, E. D. PLACE.
