By David Downer

Since my report of April 9, I have visited the brethren at Kilbourn. Was glad to find Brn. Linell and Tenny united with the church. They have attended our meetings, and advocated our faith for several years, but have not been persuaded to join the church until now. We welcome them with us to share our trials and crosses in life.

April 11, went to Burns. Found the brethren there in great need of help. I remained there till the 18th. Our meetings were interesting and well attended. I trust it was a timely visit.

I then visited Liberty Pole where I now am. The brethren here are truly trying to walk in the light and overcome their sins. There have been several additions to the church since my last visit. My meetings here have been well attended, the house being crowded every evening. I have had several calls to preach in other districts in this county. Notwithstanding the busy season of the year, people come out and are anxious to hear. I now go, Providence permitting, to Newton, twelve miles distant, to help Bro. Sutherland who has started an interest there. Some are, I believe, already keeping the Sabbath. From there, I intend to go to the quarterly meeting at Victory, Wis. May the Lord bless our feeble efforts to advance his truth and glorify him. David Downer. Liberty Pole, Wis. Apr. 26, 1872.
