D. DOWNER

By D. Downer

Wisconsin.

SINCE my report of Feb. 19, I have labored one week at Waterloo. Our meetings were profitable, and attended by nearly the whole community. Many came out who have not attended our meetings for years, and others who have never been out to hear before. Some who were bitter opposers are now friends. Three more have taken a stand on the truth. We have reason to expect that others will soon follow.
March 1, went to Hurricane. Staid two weeks. The interest was unusually good. The people were nearly all interested. I labored there till the mud was so deep that I could not continue my lectures longer. I feel assured that with a few weeks’ earnest labor, there can be a large church organized there. We left many warm friends at Hurricane, with the promise to return. I left some tracts with them. The people were anxious to read, and are more than ordinarily intelligent.
I am now at Waterloo, doing what I can during the muddy season. Several are to be baptized next Sunday. Still seeking to overcome sin, and be a servant that God and men can trust, I earnestly crave a continuation of your prayers in my behalf.
