RUSH CREEK, WISCONSIN.

By Geo. C. Tenney

We have now been here three weeks. The attendance is not large except on Sundays, on account of the roughness of the roads and the people being so scattered.
Last Sunday being the regular appointment of the Disciple preacher, we gave him the use of the tent for three discourses, in two of which he opposed us on the law and Sabbath, taking the positions usually taken by that people. I held one meeting the same day, and was able, by the help of the Lord, to establish the truth and expose error.
He wanted to remain through the week and have the tent one-half the time, but I would not consent. His next proposition was to start opposition meetings, but his brethren would not sustain him. He then wanted the tent Monday evening, and when I gave my reasons for refusing, he felt much injured because I did not reciprocate his kindness (?) in withdrawing his meetings. The M. E. and Baptists threaten strong opposition when we are gone.
Yesterday, Sept. 2, we spoke to three hundred on the immortality question, which aroused much interest and indignation. A few have embraced the truth, and we hope for more. GEO. C. TENNEY.
