From Bro. Hall.

BRO. SMITH: It has been most six months since I commenced taking the Review, during which time it has been a welcome visitor to me, as well as to the rest of my brethren in this place. Two years ago there was but one Sabbath-keeper in this county. About eighteen months since, during a revival of religion here, I embraced the religion of Jesus, and immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, but commenced a thorough search in the word of God for truth. Directly I discovered the Lord’s Sabbath, and commenced to keep it according to divine instruction. I can say of a truth that the Sabbath is a delight to me. I can now see a consistency and harmony in the word of God that I never saw before.
We have meetings every Sabbath at private houses, and the Lord is adding to our number such as shall be saved, we humbly trust. We now number four who take an active part, and others are investigating who we have reason to hope will soon embrace the third angel’s message.
I never heard a sermon preached by a Sabbath-keeper. I would go fifty miles to hear a course of lectures.
May the Lord of the harvest send a laborer this way. Cannot some of the preaching brethren come to Green Bay or Appleton, or some place in the northern part of Wisconsin. Our country is new and the inhabitants scattering, but there are souls here to be saved or lost.
From one seeking for immortality.
