Reports from the Field.

By W. B. Hill; L. H. Ells

Mankato, Minn.

Our meetings are now closed at Mankato and Eagle Lake, after a continuance of about twelve weeks. As the result of our labors, thirty have joined the Mankato church. Two members who had through discouragement given up the Sabbath, have taken a new start to serve God and keep his commandments. Several of those who joined the church were children of Sabbath-keeping parents; two or three were before keeping the Sabbath; the others came from the different sects and from the world. Seven adults that have begun to keep the Sabbath have not as yet fully connected themselves with us. We have had peculiar difficulties to contend with in these meetings, yet the Lord has blessed the word spoken. The brethren at Mankato helped us much in our labors. We are of good courage.

Sept. 23. W. B. Hill. L. H. Ells.
