Burnside, Wis.

By D. Downer

I have been laboring here about ten days. The congregations increase every night. Five are now keeping the Sabbath. Several others are favorable, and will soon obey I hope.

The little company at Modena, where I held tent-meetings, are growing in grace and humility.

I have never met more determined opposition than here. An opposition meeting is now being held in a school-house near by. The people have prevailed on two first-day (or no-day) Adventist ministers to come and oppose our positions.

The good work is prospering in the face of our enemies. I have never felt like humbling myself before God as now. I hope to recover from my mistakes, and work for the Lord in humility. I greatly need the prayers of all friends of truth.
