THE WORK AMONG THE GERMANS.

By R. Conrad

Jan. 26 to Feb. 1 we held ten meetings at Good Thunder, Minn. Our brethren turned out well; and on Sabbath we had an excellent meeting, the Lord coming very near with his good Spirit. Bro. Holser met with the company at Garden City, and had a good meeting with them. On Sunday we had an interesting business meeting. Seven joined the tract society, a vigilant missionary society of twenty members was organized, and besides the club of Signs they already take, a club of twenty Stimmen was ordered. I received eleven subscriptions for the Stimme and Harold, and sold $6.00 worth of books. A few from the outside became interested, and attended every meeting. We trust the seed sown will soon spring up. Next we visited a German family at St. Peter, who have started to obey since camp-meeting. We were glad to learn that they had Sabbath meetings with a Swedish family here. We held a few meetings with them. Here I left Bro. Holser in order to fill my appointment in the East.

The good work begun in Kansas does not seem to stop. From letters received I learn that two more have started at Marion Center, and several at Lehigh. The brethren who went to Russell County report that six there have promised to keep the Sabbath, and from Rush County we hear of five. So the truth goes with power. From Dakota we learn that several new ones have started at Milltown whom we visited during our stay there. We feel grateful to the Lord for the prosperity of the German work in the West; and our prayer is as we start East that he may still go before us. R. CONRAD.
