Brown Co., Wis.

By Daniel T. Bourdeau

Two more were baptized last Sabbath, and joined the church. These were young Sabbath-keepers.

A week ago last Sunday, the Catholic priest told his people that those of them who should attend my meetings would be excommunicated, and I had but one Catholic out to hear me last week. The one who forbade our baptizing on her premises had just returned from hearing the priest, and she insisted that the large amount of rain we had had of late was owing to my coming to the place.

All the influence I can command with French hand bills, etc., will not induce the people to come out to hear. The consistent course of the church will have to be brought into requisition to remove prejudice, caused largely by sad occurrences which would have been averted could I have come to the place last spring. But thank God for what has been done. Our brethren here can take courage. We organized a Bible-class and Sabbath-school last Sabbath. It was rather awkward to start these without books, but, fortunately, one of the brethren can read English some. I shall now have to turn my attention to other points. Pray that God may lead. D. T. BOURDEAU.
