MINNESOTA

By John W. Moore; E. A. Curtis

Goss Mills, Crow Wing Co., March 2.—Our meetings at this place continue with unabated interest. The house is well filled at every service. At our Sabbath meeting and Sabbath-school nearly fifty present, and many requested prayers who were seeking God. We have ordered twenty copies of Instructor, and have supplied the school with charts and lesson books. We think that among those who are now obeying the truth there is the need of talent, with the blessing of God, to make this one of the best Sabbath-schools in our Conference. We have met with a spirit of bitter and determined opposition from the Free Methodists and First-day Adventists; from the first, more especially from the First-day Adventists, who make it a point to visit all who become interested in the truth, and do all they can to oppose it. They have sent for two of their men to come here and oppose us. We would gladly avoid a spirit of controversy; still we shall try to hold forth. The truth is steadily gaining ground in spite of all opposition, for which we praise God. Our friends at Crow Wing with us are observing to-day, March 2, as a day of fasting and prayer for the blessing of God upon this work. The Macedonian cry for help comes to us from many places. We feel to thank God we are permitted to bear some humble part in the work, and we pray God that he will raise up laborers for the destitute fields. We very much desire the prayers of God's people.
