Report from Wisconsin.

By R. F. Andrews; I. Sanborn

BRO. WHITE; Pursuant to appointment, Bro. Andrews and myself met with the church of Johnstown Center in Quarterly Meeting. Bro. Andrews did most of the preaching. It had good effect. The brethren and sisters of this church all seem to be more engaged in the good work than ever before. The church numbers about forty members; and at this meeting they re-organized their s. b. pledges, raising their figures about $75.00, making their s. b. for this year $340; which shows that they mean to bring all the tithes into the storehouse of the Lord, that when the Lord opens the windows of Heaven, and pours out the blessing (that is, the refreshing), they may receive a portion of it. See Mal. iii, 10.
The following Sabbath and first-day we spent at Avon. We found the brethren and sisters here mostly trying to let their light shine. We found quite a good interest among their neighbors to know and understand the truth. We spoke to them nine times in all, which we trust the Lord will make profitable unto all that heard. The prospect for the prosperity of the cause in Avon has not been so good for several years before; and we believe, if each brother and sister will only be faithful in love and good works, that God will soon add many to their number. Lord, speed the work, is our prayer.
We are now on our way to Mackford.
