The news from beyond the Missouri river, in Nebraska, must cheer the hearts of the entire brotherhood. Brothers Aller and Warner are both doing a great work in their respective fields. Brother Aller is adding monthly to the membership at Crete, so that it bids fair, in a short time, to become a strong rallying point. At Cropesy, and at Evergreen, the churches are gathering strength, and the call comes loudly for more efficient workers for Jesus. What a glorious work! And how grateful we ought to be to these brave, good men that are willing to itinerate over the broad prairies of the West and preach Jesus to these bold pioneers. Bravely the brethren are pushing the missionary interest toward the Pacific Ocean. And soon they will reach the western coast. Let our brethren stand firm to the principles and doctrines of the Church of God, and our success is sure.
