WISCONSIN

By I. Sanborn

WE commenced meetings at Farmer’s Valley, Oct. 21. Found the little company that had embraced the truth at the tent three weeks previous all faithful, keeping up their meetings, Sabbath-school, and Bible-class. As there are but few of them, and they are only five miles from Leon, I advised them to unite with that church. Gave the same advice to the few in Sparta.

Oct. 31, we commenced meetings at Benjaminville, four miles north of Tomah, and continued one week. Although it was a rainy time, we had a good hearing. Sinners were converted; three were baptized; two united with the church. Bro. Young, director of Dist. No. 15, was present, and received ten members to the T. and M. Society. The Lord helped me much in presenting many of the plain, practical truths for this time; and the best of all, the brethren and sisters received it in meekness, with a lively determination to regulate their lives accordingly. Bro. King was appointed leader of their meetings for the time being, and Bro. Albert Calkins deacon.

We formed very pleasant acquaintances, and became very much attached to all these dear brethren and sisters, who show so much attachment to the Lord and his truth. We earnestly pray that God may greatly bless them with the spirit of perseverance to the end.
