Tent Meeting in Fayette, Wis.

By T. M. Steward; Wm. S. Ingraham

BRO. WHITE: Our meetings at Fayette at first were well attended, and much interest manifested, until we came to apply the characteristics of the two-horned beast to the present character of this government, when some of the people felt that their political feelings were very much hurt, and consequently they withdrew, while it extended the interest on the other side, and our congregations steadily increased to the end, and our meetings closed with a good interest. It became so cold we had to take our tent down. Then the Freewill Baptists let us have their meeting-house, and we continued until they were to occupy the house. Thus we were obliged to close before we had gone through our course. The result we do not know.

We took up the Sabbath question the last evening. We think the prospects are very favorable for raising up a good church. A little weak opposition gave the truth a fresh start. Bro. Ingraham will return there after Conference. We found some very warm friends there, who kindly cared for our wants. May the Lord reward them abundantly in his everlasting kingdom.
