Mt. Zion.—Danbury, where I labored for a while, was a hard field. The town had three dram-shops, and the people did not care to hear the truth, so I went to Mt. Zion. Here the interest was good. Seven, all heads of families, commenced to keep the Sabbath, and I think others will take a stand with us. A Sabbath-school was organized, and they hold Sabbath meetings.

I am now at home, but shall return after New Year's.

Lincoln, Adams Co., Dec. 15.—I have now been here about a month. There are about forty Scandinavian families located in this vicinity. There has been considerable opposition against the Bible truths which I have tried to present; and, as a consequence, our congregations have often been very small. Still, several candid men and women are at present investigating these truths, and are in earnest about their soul's salvation. Some have commenced to keep holy the seventh day, and others are deciding.

I have sold and given away about $5.00 worth of our Danish tracts, and have obtained eight subscribers to Advent Tidende.

There seems to be some interest among the Americans. Several have invited me to preach to them. I would be glad to correspond with the minister who has charge of this field.
