By O. A. Olsen

Wisconsin.

Since my last report, which was dated Nov. 26, I have been laboring in different places. Nov. 28, commenced meetings at Arcadia, and continued till Dec. 16. Some made a start to keep all God's commandments. Two were baptized. This was a season much blessed of the Lord.

Dec. 19, 20, with the brethren at New Denmark, in quarterly meeting. Dec. 24, commenced meetings at Ashwaubenon, and continued until the 30th. Jan. 1, returned to Arcadia, and labored there until the 8th. The Lord blessed in these meetings, and others made a start to obey the Lord. There are now nineteen keeping the Sabbath, twelve taking an active part in the meetings.

Jan. 10, 11, attended meeting at Maiden Rock. Feel thankful to the Lord for the privilege of that meeting. While at that meeting, made arrangements to come to this place, as there appeared to be an opening among the Scandinavians. Commenced meetings the 25th. Have continued speaking partly in English and partly in Norwegian. Some interest is manifested, and some of the Americans are persuaded to obey. May the Lord give me wisdom and humility is my earnest desire.
