D. DOWDEN

By D. Dowden

Wisconsin.

SINCE my last report I have been at this place most of the time. I attended quarterly meeting at Waterloo, and we had a profitable time. Bro. Olsen was present, and made some stirring remarks.

March 13, 14, attended quarterly meeting of the T. & M. Society. The reports were encouraging. All seemed to feel that the Tract Society is no longer an experiment, but a perfect success.

There has been much opposition at Hurricane Grove. At times, since I came here, there have been three meetings within as many miles. The snow is very deep and badly drifted, and still it is snowing. I was snow-bound two days within fourteen miles of my appointment. I never have had greater liberty in working for God than here. The power of God often moves nearly the whole congregation to tears. I have had but little success in getting people to take hold of the truth. They are convinced, though only four or five are now keeping the Sabbath. Have obtained twenty-one subscribers for The Voice of Truth, and twelve for the Reformer, besides selling and giving away about four thousand pages of tracts.

Shall soon close my labors here, and return to Northern Wisconsin to close up my work there. I hope much fruit may yet be seen here. The whole country have heard, and are now reading our publications.
