MINNESOTA

By D. P. Curtis

FAIRMONT, MAY 4.—Bro. Merrell and myself commenced meetings, April 14, at the Centennial school-house, eight miles from Fairmont. Considering that it was in seeding time, we had a good attendance, and the attention was excellent until we came to canvass the testing question, when the way became too strait for quite a number, and they staid away. A local minister threw in a sermon on Sunday as an opiate, though without mentioning the Sabbath; another preacher gave a sermon with a like design the next Sunday. We gave sixteen discourses in all, visited some fourteen families, distributed reading matter, and obtained one subscription for the REVIEW. Three candid, intelligent persons commenced to serve and obey God, two of whom had never made a public profession of faith in Christ until after hearing our preaching. The brethren within reach gave commendable help by their presents, and Bro. Grant was with us at three meetings. We closed yesterday, but Bro. Merrell will continue to labor in the vicinity for a time. D. P. CURTIS.
