The Wisconsin Tent.

By J. Sanborn; D. Downer

THE tent is now pitched in Plainfield, Waushara Co. This is the most thickly settled town in the county. The professing portion of the community are Freewill Baptists and Methodists.

The Freewill Baptist quarterly meeting commenced the day before our meeting was to commence in the tent. And as it was only a little more than a mile from the tent; we invited them to use the tent for their meetings, which they did part of the time. I preached twice in their meetings.

They kindly took up their appointment for last evening; and all came to the tent, which was our second meeting. The Lord gave great freedom in speaking on the promises, to a congregation of over four hundred attentive hearers. There were four ministers present, who also listened with marked attention. If we can have fair weather, with the blessing of God, we expect to see a good work done here.

Pray for us, that we may have wisdom from the Lord to fit us for the work
