The Work in Wisconsin

By C. McREYNOLDS

We have come to the close of our tent work and camp-meetings for 1906. As we recount God's blessings, we have much to be thankful for. Six tents were pitched. Two of these were in Milwaukee—one for the Danish-Norwegian work, the other for the English. About twenty-five accepted the message as a result of these meetings, and of earnest efforts in Bible work.
The other tents were pitched in La Crosse, Rhinelander, Blair, and Peshtigo. In nearly all these places the Lord gave some fruit of the work done by those connected with the tent-meetings and the Bible work. As the result of these meetings and those held in our churches and of the four camp-meetings during the year, about two hundred and seventy-five persons were baptized. About thirteen hundred of our people attended a camp-meeting this year.
One very marked feature of the annual camp-meeting was the deep spiritual interest seen from the first. A baptismal service was conducted on the first Sunday of the meeting, and five other baptismal services were held during the following week. Sixty-five in all received baptism at that meeting. A sweet spirit of harmony prevailed throughout the session. All branches of the work received attention. Much interest was manifested in the canvassing work.
The conference voted to continue the support of our workers whom we have been supporting in Great Britain, China, and other lands outside of the State. It was also voted to release Sister Mimi Schaffenberg from the work here, to go to Korea under the support of this conference.
The Bethel Academy is filled with students, and is receiving rich blessings daily. Our new school at Clearwater Lake is nearly finished. It will open early in December, with two departments, under the charge of Mr. Earnest Pringle and Miss Rose Pringle. Our church-schools are prospering. Preparations are being made for a canvassers' school to open early in 1907, and the prospects are good for a large attendance. For all these tokens of God's favor and evidences of his good hand with us in his work, we sincerely praise his name.
C. McREYNOLDS, President.
