MEETINGS IN WISCONSIN.

By I. Sanborn

Since my last report I have held another series of meetings at Waterloo, Grant Co., Wis. I spent two weeks in visiting from house to house, and held seven meetings. On Sabbath and first-day eight were baptized and seventeen added to the church, while others were deeply convicted, and we hope will soon submit themselves to the Lord. The brethren and sisters of this church are growing and increasing in the good work and in the knowledge of the Lord, and I trust they will always continue to do so.

Yesterday, I commenced a protracted meeting in the town of Fayette, Fayette Co., Wis., four miles north-east of Darlington. Have preached twice to large and

attentive congregations. I am hoping for much good here, as there are no ministers to oppose the work in an underhanded way, as they often do. Bold, open attacks we do not dread; but this underhanded, stay-away doctrine, is hard to meet, because the people will not hear. But I trust the Lord will give me wisdom to exercise patience in this great work, that his holy will may be done by me always, and precious souls be converted to God as the result of my labor here. Brethren, pray for me. I. SANBORN.
