Canby and Golden Gate.—Since my last report, I have preached thirteen times to the dear people at Canby. The Lord has been very good to us. Sixteen are now keeping the Sabbath here, nine of whom have lately commenced its observance. Three followed their Lord in baptism. Obtained three subscribers for Advent Tidende, and sold two Bibles and one copy of “Spirit of Prophecy.” I expect soon to see a good church here.

I attended the quarterly meeting at Golden Gate. The Lord was present by his Holy Spirit. Three were received into the church, and one joined the tract society.

Will the people of God remember the cause among the Scandinavians in Minnesota? C. NELSON.

Riceland, April 6.—From the 18th to the 26th of March, I held meetings in Aurora. Some were interested, and those who embraced the truth before I was there were strengthened.

March 26 to April 1, I held quarterly meeting with the Steele Center church. Although the roads were very bad, there was a good turnout. We had the blessing of the Lord in all our meetings. I have spoken here thirty-five times, and the word has been received with gladness. Five have united with the church, and five others have commenced keeping the Sabbath. They have nearly all pledged one-tenth of their income to the Lord. Twelve have signed the teetotal pledge.

April 2, I came to Riceland. Sabbath and Sunday we held six meetings, two of which were business meetings. We celebrated the ordinances of the Lord’s house, and his blessing attended us in doing so. These brethren made a great deal of sacrifice to come out to meeting. They paid $35.17 on s. s. They had labored faithfully in the missionary work. I expect to stay here during the week, to visit and hold meetings. Pray for us. L. JOHNSON.
