Minneapolis.—I met with the little company here Jan. 13. They are composed of Swedes, Norwegians, and Americans. We held seven meetings with them. A tract society was organized, also a V. M. society, and forty-five periodicals were ordered. The Sabbath-school was re-organized, and a good supply of Instructors was ordered.

We were glad to find these brethren, with one exception, in harmony, and to see them so willing to take hold of the work. In this city of 60,000 inhabitants we hope they will so let their light shine, that many will be added to their number.

Any of our brethren visiting this place will be made welcome at 2018, 24 Av. S. JOHN FULTON.

Blue Earth City and Tenhassen.—Some time ago, an effort was made to build up the little church near Blue Earth City by giving a course of lectures; but though some were convinced, none took a public stand for the truth. A Freewill Baptist elder made a weak effort for the Sunday, which was unsatisfactory to most of his hearers.

A similar effort was made for the church at Tenhassen, which resulted in the acceptance of the truth by some candid souls. A Methodist elder afterward made a raid against what he was pleased to call “the old broken-backed Sabbath,” which only served to confirm those who had accepted the truth.

A good meeting was held with the church at Milford, Iowa. Then, by request, we began a course of lectures in a neighborhood of Scotch Presbyterians. The congregations were good when the weather would permit, and some acknowledged the truth, but none as yet have made a public profession of it. We hope for some fruit in time to come. W. B. HILL. C.
