Meetings in Wisconsin.

By Isaac Sanborn

Bro. White : I have now given forty lectures in this place, to large and attentive congregations, with growing interest from the beginning to the close. There were four Sabbath-keepers here when the meetings commenced, and eleven more have decided since, and about thirty more stood up last night, saying thereby that they believed the seventh day was the Sabbath, and that it was the duty of God’s people to keep it, thus saying that if they ever take upon them the profession of Christians, they will keep the Sabbath. The brethren have appointed meetings every Sabbath. I hope the brethren from Little Prairie and other places will meet with them as often as they can. This is an excellent place for our brethren and sisters to work for the salvation of souls. This morning we went to a small lake where five were baptized, to show their faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of our divine Lord.

I start home this afternoon in good health. Praise the Lord, brethren! Let us all be faithful, for the crown will soon be given to those who overcome.
