Wisconsin

By C. McREYNOLDS

Special spiritual revivals were received at many places in the State during the week of prayer. Practical results of the renewal of consecration are appearing. Several who had not been willing to enter the field as canvassers have decided to go at once where the Lord has been calling them.

Special revivals were had in Bethel, Milwaukee, Poy Sippi, Green Bay, and Fish Creek. At the latter place word received a week ago from Elder H. W. Reed, who was conducting the meetings there, told of eighteen being added to the church, and the work was still progressing with interest unabated. At La Farge six were received into the church, and three others accepted the Sabbath.

The tithe and offerings are increasing largely. Much hope and courage is coming into the hearts of the remnant who are not being blinded and shaken out.

The educational work is doing well. The enrolment in Bethel Academy at the beginning of the winter term in the academic department reached eighty-four, and in the intermediate twenty-seven. The power of God was clearly manifest in the school during the week of prayer. Almost every one who had not formerly become a Christian made a start for the kingdom.

Seventeen church-schools are in progress, and two or three others open this week, while some are arranging for schools to begin in the spring. Our teachers in many of these schools are doing excellent work, not only for the children, but also for the youth and older members of the church.

A missionary institute to begin in Chippewa Falls, January 16, will train twenty or more workers in the English as canvassers, and a few as Bible workers. A Scandinavian school for workers will be conducted by Elder L. H. Christian in Milwaukee, beginning the middle of January.

The work at the Madison Sanitarium is prospering. The medical staff and experienced nurses are true to the message and the principles which have been revealed to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination through the spirit of prophecy. A new class is being gathered, and the conference is planning work for those who were recently graduated from the nurses' training class. Elder J. B. Scott is again at his post as pastor and Bible teacher, and the Bible study of the doctrine of the third angel's message is a leading feature of the training course. The institution is owned and controlled by the Wisconsin Conference. Young people who can secure a place in the new class will find it a blessing. We need a few more. Address Madison Sanitarium, Madison, Wis., and receive a calendar. We are trying to make progress in all branches of the message.
