Leaving Wisconsin.

By D. T. Bourdeau

Since reporting the progress of the cause in Green Bay and Fort Howard, the following results have been reached: Two more of the French have taken their stand on the truth, regular weekly prayer-meetings have been established, a Bible-class and Sabbath-school have been organized, eight have been baptized, and Systematic Benevolence has been organized amounting to about $60 a year. Much more remains to be done for this company. We hope their needs will be supplied by faithful men who will throw their whole energies into the work.

Last week, besides holding meetings at three points, we took a trip among the French brethren in Bay Settlement, and called on a number of families that were favorable to the truth. To meet the spiritual wants of the French brethren, etc., we have ordained a judicious and tried man for elder, and left him a good supply of our French works, encouraging him to visit families, pray with them, and talk the truth to them. We have organized, as far as practicable, systematic labor. We expect to learn of success in the French branch of the work, if the farewell advice we gave last night in a three hours’ talk is heeded.
