REPORT OF MEETINGS IN WISCONSIN.
By I. Sanborn
Since my last report from Cassville, we have had our first Quarterly Meeting with the Seventh-day Adventist church known as the Waterloo church, in Grant Co., Wis. It was truly a good meeting. Five were baptized, and sixteen received into the church, and at 4 P. M., we met to partake of the ordinances, and fifty brethren and sisters engaged in washing feet. With most all it was the first time in their lives that they had seen this ordinance attended to by any professed people of God. But, thanks be to God, there are people, even here in this country, that are willing to follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. I have also held four meetings in a grove ten miles east of this; but there has been so much prejudice sowed in the minds of the people by some ministers and others, that our congregations were small. Yet there was some interest, and we trust some good done. To-morrow I start north to meet Bro. R. F. Andrews at Dell Prairie, to attend a meeting there. From there, I expect to go Trempealeau Co., to the neighborhood where Bro. J. B. Ingalls lives, and see what the Lord may have for me to do there. I hope to have the prayers of the faithful, that the Lord may give me wisdom to do the work well, and at last receive the faithful servant’s reward. I. SANBORN.
