REPORT FROM BRO. SANBORN.
By I. Sanborn
The good work of the Lord moves steadily on here in Trempeleau Co., Wis. Some have already decided to keep the commandments, and many are convinced. A local elder of the Methodist church has given notice that he will preach an opposition sermon on next first-day evening, which we do not expect will do the cause any harm. I want to say to my brethren in the ministry, the reason I could not see it duty to attend the camp-meeting in Michigan was on account of the great interest here, as my past experience in this work, and the spirit of the Lord, has taught me that to leave the work, only a few days, at the period when I should have been obliged to leave this to go to the camp-meeting, would have been to run the risk of losing all my past labor here. Notwithstanding I felt as though it was a great sacrifice for me to make not to go to camp-meeting, yet I make it for the good of others, and I trust the Lord will make it up to me in some other way. I also pray that the Lord may greatly strengthen and fit up his people for the great work before us, and that we may all be prepared for the refreshing that is soon to come from his presence. Pray for me that the Lord may give me wisdom to do his work faithfully, that I with you may at last receive the faithful servant’s reward.
