MEETINGS IN WISCONSIN.

By George C. Tenney

I was engaged during the month of December holding meetings in Bro. Farrar’s neighborhood. The attendance was good when the weather was favorable, which was not a large portion of the time. Three embraced the truth, and are waiting baptism. Sabbath meetings and Bible class have been started. The truth could make no general impression there, as the people have had it before them more or less since Bro. Waggoner and others were in that vicinity twenty-five or thirty years ago.

I came to this place Dec. 27, where an interest had been raised by circulating tracts, and seven or eight had begun to observe the Sabbath. Several have since begun to obey, though we have not yet reached that subject; so that there are now nearly twenty observing the Sabbath of the Lord, where but a short time ago there were but four or five. This is good evidence of the usefulness of our Tract organization.

We are holding meetings in a hall in the village, where the interest is not very good, but the people from the surrounding country attend well. We think the truth will reach some hearts; and, through the blessing of the Lord, we hope to see a church raised up here. Bro. Enoch and wife are here assisting.
