MEETINGS IN WISCONSIN.

By I. Sanborn

I HAVE now spent three weeks preaching in the town of Waterloo, joining Cassville on the east, and about six miles from where I first commenced meeting. The interest has been good from the beginning, and the result is that twenty-two are now keeping the Sabbath. Last Sabbath ten were baptized. Father Elwell was the only one in the neighborhood that really professed any religion. He is about 80 years old, and has used tobacco about 40 years, but has now given it up, and has come out on the great truths of the third angel's message. If as old a man as he is can leave off the use of tobacco for the glory of God, then younger people ought to do it, as many of them in this place have already done. May God help others to go and do likewise, and thus cleanse themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. 2 Cor. vii, 1. I have again commenced meetings in the town of Waterloo, within two miles of where I preached in Cassville, to be continued two weeks, in which time we expect quite a number more will embrace the truth. I trust I shall still have the prayers of all who love this blessed cause, that God may still give me wisdom to preach his word according to his will, that precious souls may still be converted and added to the Lord, and thus be sanctified and prepared for the coming of his dear Son, which is my prayer.
