Spencer, May 2.—I have labored near Spencer, Clay Co., Emmittsburg, Palo Alto Co., and in Dickinson Co., during the last two months. The last evening that I held meeting in Palo Alto Co., we had a temperance meeting. Seven signed the teetotal, and five the anti-whisky pledge. The brethren there have done well. We hope that several others who now believe the truth will soon take a firm stand with us.

The church at Spencer is striving to live near the Lord. We had a solemn meeting with them last Sabbath. Two followed their Saviour in baptism, and we hope for more soon.

Three Norwegian families are now keeping the Sabbath in Dickinson Co. Two came out by reading the Tidende. I have labored to establish them more fully in the truth. Another family kept their first Sabbath with us last Sabbath. They expressed a desire to be baptized as soon as there was an opportunity.

I also held three meetings in Estherville, Emmett Co. Although there is a great deal of opposition, I have an invitation to return and hold meetings there.

Pray for us here. P. L. HOEN.
