C. W. OLDS

By C. W. Olds

Wisconsin.

Dec. 14, I started for Grant Co., Wis., to hold meetings. I commenced two miles east of Hazle Green, in the neighborhood of Bro. Foy, in a school-house. Prejudice kept many from hearing. I held seventeen meetings here. Several said they were convinced. Two expressed a willingness to obey.

Jan. 15, 1872, Bro. M. E. Crandall came to join me in the meetings. The people came from another neighborhood, and requested us to come there and hold meetings. Jan. 16, commenced meetings in this place, and continued until Feb. 20, holding, in all, some thirty meetings. The people here generally believe we have the truth. We found some warm friends. Three have commenced to keep the Sabbath.

Feb. 20, Bro. Crandall and I went to Hazel Green, and fitted up a deserted meeting-house which had been offered us. Have now had two meetings. The first evening one hundred and twenty were present; last evening, one hundred and fifty. Bro. Crandall has been called home, but I expect to stay as long as the interest seems to demand. My hope is in the Lord, that he will bring us off victorious at last.
