Mondovi, Wisconsin.

By G. C. TENNEY

For about five weeks our meetings have been in progress in this place. Circumstances have been favorable, except that it is the most busy season of the year. We have had considerable rainy weather, but have not lost a single service on this account.

The interest, which was good at first, is now better and deeper still. Few have as yet decided in favor of the truth, but many are in the valley of decision.

The opposition are girding on the armor, and the battle was opened by their forces yesterday. Two discourses were given against our position. The weakness of the Sunday cause was made quite apparent by an effort to sustain the falling fabric, which consisted of a curious combination of erroneous and contradictory positions. We shall review both discourses. It is a cause of much gratitude that the Lord has given us a consistent and harmonious truth. We feel our need of God's grace to help us to live it, and place it properly before the people that they may accept it in the love of it. We shall continue here for some time, and are hoping and praying for fruits of our labor.
