Wisconsin Field Calls for Laborers

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

Wisconsin.

WHEN I came to this State I did not know that I should remain to labor at all. But as I had no other field indicated, it seemed best to begin work here. After prospecting a short time, I commenced meetings in Columbia Co. The report of these meetings is spreading abroad, and calls are coming in for meetings in every direction. But I have now received “a call” from another Conference, indorsed by the President of the General Conference, and it will be duty for me to respond to this. Who, in Wisconsin, will meet the urgent calls which are coming up for labor in this State?
To my many correspondents on this subject I wish to say that I have not time to answer all by letter. My work presses on me. Pray that the burden of this work may fall on the hearts of some who will start out as a few started out twenty years ago, when there were few or no friends to encourage and help, with strong faith in the truth and courage to hold on to the promises of God. Some young men must be baptized into this work by the Spirit of God before it will fulfill its destined mission. May the Lord arouse the church at large to a sense of these things. J. H. WAGGONER.
