Fremont, Wis.

By C. W. Olds

MAY 1, I returned to this place. Bro. Sanborn had appointed to meet me here. Of the thirty-four that signed a covenant to keep the commandments of God, we found nearly all firm, and growing in the knowledge of the truth.

We commenced our meetings Sabbath evening. On Sunday twelve willing souls were buried by baptism in the likeness of Christ’s death, in Wolf River. A large assembly of people stood on the bank to witness the solemn ceremony.

Bro. S. stayed five days, and then started for other fields of labor, leaving me to follow up the work here, and labor in other places as the way may open.

The next first-day commenced meetings at Little River. Have held seven meetings with increasing interest. Attended the Sabbath meetings at Fremont last Sabbath. Nine more went forward in baptism. Some new ones are receiving the truth.

The meeting-house that we held our meetings in last winter is now closed against us, and the brethren have hired a hall where they now hold their meetings. On the Sabbath, they have a prayer and social meeting, Sabbath-school, and Bible-class, and on Wednesday evening a prayer-meeting. They have organized Systematic Benevolence and are now making arrangements to build a meeting-house.

I still feel a degree of courage to labor on and help to warn the world of the day of God. I think I feel my need of help from the Lord. May I be so humble that the Lord may guide me in wisdom.
