A VOICE FROM NEBRASKA.

By Agnes Lucas

I long for the time of our Nebraska Camp-meeting. I expect to see a general rally; for I believe the Adventists of this State are anxious for just such a meeting. I think a great degree of good may be accomplished at this gathering; and the question is, How can we do the most? I believe we can get many of our unconverted friends to go to the meeting with us, and perhaps while there they will become convinced of the present truth. And let us carry our tracts and papers; for no doubt we shall have opportunity to scatter the precious seed of truth in many directions among those who know it not. How truthfully a sister has said, “Our present strength is in our publications.” We can scarcely realize what they are doing.

Let us all lift up our voices together, in prayer to God, that he may especially bless the cause in the West. And we know that if we ask any good thing, not doubting, we shall have the petitions we ask. And when we come together, let it be with our hearts full of prayer that the Lord will strengthen us for the duties before us. Let us also pray the Lord to send us more ministerial labor the coming year, that the work may spread through this part of the vineyard. I am anxious that these truths may be sounded throughout the State of Nebraska, and I know I am not alone in this desire.

AGNES LUCAS.
