WISCONSIN

By J. Sanborn

We commenced meetings four miles north of Mauston, where Brn. Tenney and Smith held a tent-meeting last summer. We found eight Sabbath-keepers in the vicinity. There was a small interest in the minds of a few, but we could not persuade any of them to obey.

I spoke twice at the Lone Rock school-house, south-west of Mauston, where once there was a large company of Sabbath-keepers. I found only two that seemed to have any real living, working spirit in them.

I also spoke three times in Mauston; but on account of dark nights and muddy roads, there were but few out. We tried to encourage the few to faithfulness and good works by faith. We organized s. b. amounting to $75.20 a year. They have an interesting Bible-class and good meetings. Bro. Benjamin Carter is the leader and s. b. treasurer. We tried to show them the importance of engaging faithfully in missionary work as they have a good field in which to labor. Several of their neighbors are thoroughly convinced of the truth, and may yet obey. J. SANBORN.
