Wisconsin

By Wm. Covert

PRENTICE.— I was at Prentice Sabbath and Sunday, July 12 and 13, associated with Elder H. W. Reed, holding some meetings. Brethren F. L. Kinne and B. L. Anderson conducted a tent meeting in that place last year, and previously to that time Sister Kinne and her son had been doing Bible work in the place. As a result of the labor performed, eight or ten persons began to keep the Sabbath, and other Sabbath keepers have moved into the neighborhood, so that we were enabled to organize a church of fourteen members. I think that seven of these had received letters from other churches. Three of these, however, came from one of our churches in western Illinois, so there are ten members of this church who had not previously belonged in the Wisconsin Conference.

The prospect seems good for others to unite with the company, especially if a proper amount of evangelistic work can be done there.

The Lord came very near in these services, and the church starts out with a good prospect before it. It is a source of rejoicing to see new churches added to our ranks. May all our people in the conference give their strength to the Lord's work so fully that many new congregations may be raised up during the year to come. Wm. Covert.
