Report from Bro. Waggoner.
By Joseph H. Waggoner
I HAVE not hitherto reported to the REVIEW, because I have not been preaching much, and have not known just what course I should pursue. I left Battle Creek Nov. 24, in answer to a telegram, to attend a funeral in Green Lake Co., Wis. Spoke three times in Mackford, once in Markesan (beside the funeral sermon), and once in Marquette. Having worked very hard during the summer, I improved the opportunity of visiting kindred and friends in Wisconsin. But my visiting season was not spent in idleness. For more than two years, I have had in my mind to write on a certain subject, but could not find time to devote to it; and so I have made my proposed time of rest a time of diligent writing. I visited Baraboo, having some mind to labor there; but after carefully examining the ground, decided not to do so. I spoke but twice while there. I feel a strong desire to have the truth preached in Baraboo, but not under present circumstances. Also visited Sauk Prairie. Found there some friends of my younger days; and I think there is an opening there for the proclamation of the present truth. At present, I am holding meetings in a school-house in Hundred Mile Grove, Dane Co. An explanation is needed in regard to this locality. Though the church was named the Hundred Mile Grove church, it is not at the Grove, nor are there any Sabbath-keepers at the Grove, nor in its immediate vicinity. There appears to be a good interest to hear, and I pray that it may bear fruit to salvation. I have not forgotten the good meetings in Battle Creek, but regretted that I could not longer remain there to share in the further blessing received by God's people. My prayer is that this may be the beginning of a general revival of the good work. My post-office for the present is Lodi, Columbia Co., Wis.
