Stevens Point, Aug. 12.

I have now been at this place one week. The congregations average one hundred and fifty, and the attention is good. Yesterday we presented the Sabbath question, and though many are prejudiced, some are interested. A first-day Adventist preacher, a young man of intelligence, came to the tent, and we furnished him with tracts, and conversed with him till a late hour at night. He then went home and read the tracts, comparing them with Scripture, till morning, and continued investigating during the week till the next Sabbath. He then worked in the harvest-field till noon, when being disturbed by his convictions of duty he observed the remainder of the day as the Sabbath. Both he and his wife are now strong in the truth. We also met Eld. Day, lately of Maine, a first-day Adventist minister, who has been keeping the Sabbath about six months.

The cause in Wisconsin is rising; good reports come in from all parts of the field. Five companies have been raised up since the camp-meeting, making an aggregate of over one hundred Sabbath-keepers added during the last six weeks.

We have been here a little over a week. Our meetings have been well attended so far. Last night our tent was full, and thirty-five or forty were seated outside. There must have been two hundred and twenty-five present. And I never saw better order than was maintained for a little over an hour, while the Sabbath question was being discussed. We hope for good results.

The cause is moving on steadily at Mukwonago. Twenty were present at our meeting last Sabbath, and every one spoke, four for the first time.
