During the past week, owing to stormy weather and the press of haying and harvest, our congregations have been small, averaging about forty, until Sunday, when, the day being fair, over two hundred were in attendance. Good attention was given as we presented the history and claims of the true Sabbath. More interest was manifested than at any time before during the meetings. July 15. S. S. SMITH. ELI OSBORN.
Elkhorn, July 17.—We have held five meetings in this place, with an average attendance of about one hundred and fifty. There is a large amount of prejudice to overcome before the truth can find a place in the hearts of the people. We shall do our best, by the help of the Lord, to present the truth before them in a clear light. We ask the prayers of our brethren and sisters for the success of the work here. C. W. OLDS. E. M. CRANDALL.
Neillsville, Tent No. 8.—We have given fifteen discourses in all. Have canvassed the Sabbath question quite thoroughly. By a rising vote, fourteen have expressed their intention to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and we think several others will soon decide for the truth. The people here are willing to read, and as soon as a new subject is presented, they come eagerly to the stand to get our tracts. We are now in the midst of the Life and Death question. July 14. T. B. SNOW. C. HOLMES.
Rockton and Debello.—Our tent-meetings in Rockton are quite well attended, and some are deeply interested; but being in the midst of harvest, many who live in the country are not able to attend all the evening meetings. Rains have also hindered the progress of our meetings. We hope some will yet obey the truth.
July 5, attended the quarterly meeting at Debello. The brethren seem to be doing well. Several more decided to keep all of God’s commandments. Among the number was the Wesleyan Methodist minister to whom we referred in a previous report. This minister and his wife have both decided to walk according to the law of God. They hope their children will soon follow them. Another who has lately commenced the observance of the Sabbath is a German who has preached some among the Christians. Others in the vicinity of Debello are interested. May God help them to obey. O. A. JOHNSON. July 10. ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN.
