Viroqua, Aug. 7, 1876

By I. Sanborn; O. A. Johnson

WISCONSIN TENT, NO. 2.

Our meetings continue with increasing interest, though the farmers are now in the hurry of harvest. We are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. To-day Sunday, two opposition sermons are given, which will be reviewed in the tent Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

The whole town and country for miles around are stirred. There are two papers published in town, and we furnish an article for each on the most stirring parts of our faith, besides reports of the progress of our meetings. The opposition is exceedingly aroused, because we advertised through the papers that we would give any person $25 for one text to prove that Sunday is the Sabbath or the Lord's day, which put the ministers in a very awkward position. But the Lord gives us much freedom in the word, and we are cheerful and hope for much good. Pray for us, and for the success of the truth.

I. Sanborn, O. A. Johnson.
