BLACK CREEK, WISCONSIN.
By George C. Tenney
I have closed my labors at this place for the present; having established partial organization, meetings, and Sabbath-school. Seventeen signed the covenant, and others living at a distance will do so when we shall more fully organize. Bro. T. E. Thorp was chosen leader. Much prejudice exists around them. Many of the people are well described in Zech. 7:11, 12; but we trust the brethren will walk in the counsel of the Lord, and retain his blessing with them. I was happy to form the acquaintance of Bro. Morris Reed and family of Seymour; six miles from this place. He has been a prominent member of the Methodist church and a licensed preacher amongst them. Lately they have embraced the truth, and are rejoicing in it. I trust the way will appear to him for usefulness in the work of the Lord. Jan. 27 and 28, a few of us met with the brethren at Duck Creek in quarterly meeting, and we felt that the Lord blessed us freely. Muddy roads now make it impracticable to open meetings at present in this vicinity.
