Meetings in Mauston and Rubicon
BRO. SMITH: I have just returned from Mauston, where I found a goodly number that had embraced the Sabbath under the labors of Bro. Stewart. I had a very good and I think a profitable time with them: While I presented to them the history of the Advent cause, the fulfillment of prophecy, connected with its bringing us to the cleansing of the Sanctuary and the three angel's Messages, there was evidently an ear to hear, and a desire to understand the truth, on the part of most, at least. May the Lord help them to live out the Sabbath law. Thirteen gave their names for the paper, also other publication to present to their friends to lead them into the truth that they now love. I learned that a brother of Harvey Childs of Vt. lived near; so I went and found him. He had been somewhat interested in the meetings held the past Winter, and wished me to have a meeting on First-day in his district. This I did. He came out on the truth, and seemed to rejoice in the clear pathway in which God had led his people. Others seemed to have an ear to hear, may the Lord open the way for them to hear that have ears; for it is truly the case that many have no disposition to hear the truth, but fables they love.
