I. SANBORN,

By I. SANBORN

Wisconsin.

I commenced meetings at Hurricane Grove, Grant Co., May 29. Held nine meetings, and visited among the people. I baptized eight, and organized a society of ten members, with S. B. amounting to $21.85 a year. There are others in the neighborhood that I think may yet be persuaded to obey the Lord by proper labor.

I also spent one week in Waterloo. I found the church in a lamentable condition, as the result of a lack of faith and love to God, and of love for one another. Last Sabbath was set apart for fasting and prayer, and for seeking the Lord and his righteousness, that we may be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. Zeph. 2:3. The preaching was searching and close, so that the hearts of the people were again affected through the truth. They have entered into new covenant relations with God, which if they will now faithfully fulfill will bring them much courage in the Lord. Four were baptized, and five were received into the church. Their S. B. figures were raised $68.88.

If this dear people will now faithfully walk in the light as it shines upon them, and as they understand it, the Lord will greatly bless them; but if they neglect to do so, they will fall back farther into darkness than ever before. Jesus says, “If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings.” John 14:23, 24. May the Lord help us all to remember and obey his words, and enjoy his presence continually.

My address until further notice will be Monroe, Green Co., Wis.
