SOLDIER'S GROVE.—My work here for the present is done, having been in this vicinity for four months. This little company of Sabbath-keepers are doing well. They have regular Sabbath meetings and a Sabbath-school composed of eighteen members. As the result of the meetings at North Clayton, a few have accepted the truth; so there are now eleven or twelve that are trying to keep the commandments of God in this vicinity. This has been a hard field of labor on account of a strong foreign element; but we thank God that a few have had the courage to come out from among the world. W. S. HYATT. Nov. 13.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.—On Oct. 7 I came to Ogema, Price Co., and labored twenty days. Held in all nineteen meetings, all among the Swedes. There are a few souls here who are trying to fear God and keep all of his commandments as far as they have a knowledge of them. The interest to hear and live out the truth at Ogema was not as great as I had anticipated. The people here depend largely for their living upon working in the woods at lumbering during the winter, and this is a great obstacle in the way of their taking hold of the truth.

Came to Cushing, Polk Co., Oct. 30. Spent twelve days at this place and at North Valley. At the last-named place there are two Scandinavian families who meet together on the Sabbath to worship God. One brother here was baptized. At Cushing the interest is still increasing. One Baptist sister united with the church, and one brother was baptized. For the first time we administered the ordinances of the Lord's house to these souls. Our coming together on such an occasion was indeed a feast to the brethren and sisters. God blessed us all through our meetings in a marked way. Though most of them are poor in this world's goods, yet they will, with God's help, render unto God the things that are his. I am now on my way to Ogema to spend a few days till the State meeting. H. R. JOHNSON.
