The Wisconsin and Illinois Tent.

Bro. White: Our tent meeting at Brockton has just closed. We continued our meetings five weeks. Things in this place were very unfavorable indeed at first. A number of Sabbath-keepers were living in this vicinity that had never gone any further than to keep the Sabbath. With this exception they attended to no religious duties at home or abroad. Among the citizens of the place Spiritualism and infidelity were the order of the day. I had given thirteen lectures before Bro. Steward reached the place. His business was such that he could not join me before. Notwithstanding our meeting was a hard one, the result was good. Nine were baptized and joined the church. Others will go forward soon.
