Meetings in Wis.

By Isaac Sanborn

BRO. SMITH: I want to say for the encouragement of the brethren and sisters that the Lord is still at work in Wisconsin. Sixth-day, Jan. 13th, I commenced another series of meetings at the Ban school-house, Rock Co., Wis. On the Sabbath we met together in the school-house at Avon, four miles west of the Ban school-house, where I preached a short discourse, after which about thirty pointed testimonies were borne in favor of the truth. Five more decided to go with the commandment-keepers to mount Zion. I then continued my labors at the Ban school-house till first-day evening, when the house was so crowded that the people were uncomfortable, there being twenty-five or more that had to stand while I spoke about one hour from 2 Tim. iv, 2, 3. I was then told that one more had decided to keep the Sabbath. Second-day morning, before I left, two more followed their Lord in the ordinance of baptism.

Dear brethren and sisters, the cause is onward in Wisconsin. Praise the holy name of the Lord.

ISAAC SANBORN.
