WISCONSIN

By D. Downer

I labored in the Burnside and Arkansas churches with Bro. Sanborn. Found them lacking in almost everything. But they finally took hold, adopted the tithing system, and seemed somewhat aroused. A late report from those churches shows that they have taken hold of the T. and M. work, and are doing well.
Jan. 11, we commenced meetings in Augusta. I labored with Bro. S. three weeks. Jan. 30 I left Bro. S. at Augusta, and commenced a course of lectures in the Sawyer school-house. I have been here four weeks. The house has been crowded all the time. There has been an opposition meeting kept up during the time in the M. E. church near by. Their congregations have averaged from three to twelve; ours, from one hundred to one hundred and forty. Twelve are now keeping the Sabbath, and others are about persuaded to obey.
I am cheerfully pressing on. God is with me now, and I will rejoice.
