NEBRASKA

By Chas. L. Boyd

RICHMOND AND FREMONT.—In company with Bro. Cudney, I spent the last days of November with the Richmond church. The meetings were well attended by those from without, and were much appreciated by all. Two who had embraced the faith through missionary labor, united with the church.

Dec. 3-8 was spent in a general meeting at Fremont. Elds. Cudney, Johnson, and Nettleton were present, also a goodly number of colporters and canvassers. I was much gratified to meet again the young men and women here who have given their lives to the blessed work of spreading the present truth. Some felt that they had been indulging in a spirit of murmuring and complaining in the past, and humble confessions were made; and love, which is only found among the children of Him whose name is Love, flowed from heart to heart. “This is the best meeting that I have ever attended,” and like words, were heard from many present. With trust and confidence in each other, and firm faith in the message, these friends have gone forth to their several fields of labor. My prayers follow them as I journey westward. Unless checked, I fear the results of a feeling of unrest,—a desire to go to some new field,—which here, as elsewhere, is manifest.

These young laborers have been doing a good work; their reports were heart-cheering, and as they still press forward, I would bid them God speed until the “Well done” shall greet their longing souls.
