Wautoma, July 10, 1871
By I. Sanborn; D. Downer
We have just read Bro. White’s report of our good camp-meeting. The Sabbath following the camp-meeting, we met with the Johnstown church. Bro. Downer preached in the forenoon. Many confessions were made in the afternoon meeting, and we hope permanent good was accomplished. On the 6th of July, Bro. Downer and Olson and myself started to Waushara County to commence tent operations. On the 7th, we pitched the tent in Wautoma, the county seat. This is a beautiful village twenty-two miles from the railroad. The people are intelligent and kind. Our meetings commenced Friday evening, and, although it was raining on both that and the following evening, there were from one hundred to one hundred and fifty present. Since then our congregations have been increasing in number, and the interest is rising very fast. We pray that the Lord may work for the salvation of souls in this place. Pray for us. I. SANBORN,
D. DOWNER.
