WISCONSIN

By C. W. Olds

FREMONT.

I came to Fremont, Jan. 3, where I met Eld. Decker, who came to make the church a visit, and aid in the dedication of the new meeting-house. They have succeeded in erecting and completing a neat and respectable house, although financially they are quite weak. After the dedication, Bro. D. went to other appointments, and it was thought best for me to remain longer and give a course of lectures. The good Lord gave us liberty in preaching the word, and some that had strayed from the fold came back with confession and tears. We staid with them two weeks. On the last Sabbath their quarterly meeting was held. That was a good day. One was received into the church, and others I think soon will be. On first-day, we held a business meeting, and re-arranged s. b. All took hold of the work nobly, raising their former s. b. $40. January the 23d, I went to

CEDAR LAKE,

and commenced meetings in a school-house. The attendance has been good from the first, although the going has been bad most of the time. We have now had twenty meetings. I have canvassed the Sabbath question, and they are now quite anxious to hear on the immortality question, which we will begin this week. Six have commenced to keep God’s holy law, and we trust others will soon begin. We remain here as long as the interest may demand. Our courage is good in the Lord. C. W. Olds.
