MINNESOTA AND DAKOTA.

By R. A. Burdick

Rock and Moody Counties.— I have recently visited a company in Rock Co., Minn. Last spring Bro. W. T. Henton preached a number of discourses in the west part of Martin township, about three miles from Valley Springs, Dakota. Three families embraced the Sabbath, and are still endeavoring to keep it. One, a young man and his wife, have removed to Moody Co., Dakota.

I stayed with them a week, from March 21 to 28. I spoke to them five times. Bro. Henton came the 24th, and spoke three times. The brethren and sisters came out promptly to all the meetings. They desire to know what is right, and seem willing to do it. They need help. One has been baptized, two or three more desire to be. One more, a Christian lady, promised to keep the Sabbath from this time. She is a widow, and has one son living with her. Two sisters signed the tithing pledge; others are favorable. They intend soon to join the tract society. We re-organized the Sabbath-school, with sixteen members. I sold one copy of Testimony No. 29 and some tracts. Others there are deeply interested.

March 15, I visited a company of Danes in the southern part of Moody county, five miles northeast of Dell Rapids. There are four families and one sister keeping the Sabbath here. They did belong to the S. D. Baptists, but their organization has gone down. They hold to most of our views. They are good, honest people.
