DAKOTA

By S. B. Whitney

Yankton, May 31.—Came to this place the 20th to obtain a location for the tent, which was effected without difficulty. As it was too late to pitch that week, I returned to Swan Lake and spent the Sabbath. Early last week the brethren brought the tent, which we erected on a fine ground in the heart of the city, only a block from the business center. Commenced meetings the 26th. The attendance thus far has averaged a hundred or more. Yesterday and last night our meetings were entirely broken up by a cold rain-storm from the northwest. The interest has been good, however, and we hope for our usual attendance, as the weather is fine again.

Some members of a local liberal league have made a bold and defiant assault upon our work, but we have been helped to vanquish them to the entire satisfaction of the better part of the community. Our trust is in the Lord. S. B. WHITNEY.
