WISCONSIN

By J. WOLFGARTEN

MILWAUKEE.—I have begun another series of meetings, in a small chapel which I rented for four dollars a month. The attendance has been fair. Some are deeply interested. I also started a Sunday-school in the same chapel. The first Sunday thirty-two children were present. I will teach the children for their own good and to reach the parents. We are studying “Christ Our Saviour.”
Most of the church-members are doing missionary work, selling the Christlicher Hausfreund from house to house. Some children from seven to nine years of age have had good success in selling the paper. They received about $2.60 in a few hours. The children should work. It pleases God well when little children engage in his service.
Yesterday afternoon we had our prayer-meeting for the college. We experienced a most blessed hour. On account of the very cold weather only nine were out. After reading 2 Kings 22:5–7; 10:15, the Spirit of God came into our hearts, and the nine, mostly poor persons, pledged fifty dollars. If our people get hold of the Spirit, they give. The Germans in this city are willing to give.
May the Lord glorify his name and advance his kingdom among the Germans in this country.
