A Call for Laborers in Wisconsin

From Sister Benson.
BRO. SMITH: It is through the long suffering and tender mercy of God that I have been permitted to love and hold on to the truth till now. It is now about five years since I embraced the present truths of the Bible, and I have ever felt unworthy to be called one of the children of God. Still my heart is with them, and with the Review. I believe it is the only paper owned and approved of the Lord, and I feel thankful for the many heart-cheering truths I read in the Review. It comes to me a welcome visitor.
I feel to thank God that he has kept me from the many dark influences and false doctrines that have surrounded me since I came West.
There is a little band of about twelve here. We hold meetings on the Sabbath, and are striving to overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. I believe there are some honest souls in this region. When I look around and see the wide field of labor here, I feel to cry out, O that the Lord would send some faithful messenger here, to sound the Third Angel's Message.
I feel to thank God that he corrects his children through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want to be a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, and be permitted to stand on mount Zion with the 144,000, that will be redeemed from the earth.
Your unworthy sister in tribulation. ABBY BENSON. Mackford, Marquette Co., Wis.
