Wisconsin Tent Meeting Near Mauston Organizes Class of Fourteen

By G. C. Tenney; S. S. Smith

WISCONSIN TENT, NO. 4.

We closed our labors near Mauston last evening. The result, so far, has been the organization of a class of fourteen, three or four of whom are keeping the Sabbath for the first time, while others were members of the once prosperous Mauston church; others will join as soon as they can be reached by the truth once more, and there are several who have never yet professed religion that we are strongly assured will soon take hold of present truth. Thus we trust that by a little well-directed labor immediately after tent season, the standard of the Lord may again be raised in this vicinity in a good, strong church.

In some respects this has been a very hard field in which to labor, as all will agree who are acquainted, yet there are souls here that love the truth.

Bro. Carter and family have kindly supplied our wants. Opposition has been of the kind which smiles as it meets you, while at your back it “wonders why the Lord sent you here,” and finally turns to bitter hatred.

We next unite with Bro. Decker in labor at Tomah, which will be our address.

G. C. Tenney, S. S. Smith.
