Quarterly Meetings in Vernon Co., Wisconsin.

By I. Sanborn; David Downer

The Quarterly Meeting just held in the new Christian meeting-house in Vernon Co., Wis., closed last evening; and as there are only two families of Sabbath-keepers in this vicinity, the meeting was made up mostly of brethren and sisters from Sand Prairie, twenty-five miles from here, one load from Woodman, one from Victory, and one from Waukon, in which was Bro. J. N. Andrews' mother.

Many of the Christian people met with us, and also of the world's people, so we had the meeting-house crowded all the time. I gave five sermons on the last message, the people paying wonderful attention. Last evening we distributed about five dollars worth of tracts among those who wanted to read. In almost every place we visit we find some one who has received the truth by reading. So here we found a sister from Liberty Pole, who had received the truth by reading tracts and papers that some friends had sent her. May the Lord help our brethren and sisters to work on in this department while the day lasts. Keep adding to the book fund, so that the active ministers can have tracts to give to the people who will read wherever they go. We will continue our labors here as long as the interest may demand. I have never seen a better prospect for good. May the Lord give us wisdom. Pray for us.

I. SANBORN, DAVID DOWNER.
