Reports from Hoosier Grove and Spring Grove
Bro. I Sanborn writes from Jefferson Wis., March 16th. 1858: "I have been absent from home twelve days, in which time I spoke eight times to large and attentive congregations at Hoosier Grove. At the last meeting but one, two came out decided to keep the commandments of God. A number of others seem to be convinced of the truth. O that this last message may be made the power of God unto their salvation. From there I went to Spring Grove, and spoke three times to the same congregation that I had three weeks ago. At the last meeting, six arose, one after another and told the people that they had made up their minds to obey the truth if the Lord would help them. A number of others like Felix of old said, 'Go thy way for this time, and when I have a convenient season I will call for thee.' O Lord help them to see that to-day is the day of salvation."
