Labors in Wisconsin.

By H. SANBORN; R. F. ANDREWS.

BRO. WHITE: According to appointment, we met with the church at Mauston in Quarterly Meeting, Oct. 20. We held nine meetings with them. The brethren seemed encouraged a good deal, and we hope they will continue to fight the good fight of faith that they may finally lay hold on eternal life. Bro. Wm. Pierce was ordained deacon of the church. We hope he may have the prayers of the church, and help from the Lord to faithfully fill his office.

Bro. and sister Tenny and sister Robinson of Dell Prairie were at the meeting. Bro. Sanborn went home with them and held three meetings at their place. I stayed two days longer and visited the brethren, and held two more meetings.

The 24th, we left for Hundred Mile Grove. We stopped at Baraboo the 25th, and held meeting in the court-house in the evening. On account of bad, stormy weather there were but few out, still we trust our meeting was not in vain. We left by stage the 26th, and arrived at Bro. Jordan's at Lodi at one o'clock P. M., where we had a hearty reception. Bro. Rankin very kindly met us here with his team, and carried us to his place, which was our home during the meeting. It commenced snowing Sabbath morning and snowed nearly all day, which was somewhat against our meeting. Still the Lord met with us, and we were encouraged to labor on in this good cause.

Bro. Sanborn went to Lodi the 29th, and labored for the brethren there till the 31st, when he left to attend the Quarterly Meeting at Sand Prairie, Nov. 3 and 4. I stayed at Hundred Mile Grove one week after he left, visiting the brethren and laboring for them. Held eight meetings during the time. Our effort here wound up gloriously. The brethren are determined with the Lord's help to go through to the kingdom. Left for Monroe, Nov. 5.

Brethren, pray for us.
