Wisconsin Labor Among the Churches

By C. W. Olds

Wisconsin

Labor among the Churches.—Nov. 28, visited Berlin, where is a little company of nine or ten, who hold meetings regularly on the Sabbath, and also have a Sabbath-school. I remained with them one week. They are anxious that more meetings should be held in that city. Dec. 4, went to Poysippi, where we stayed about a week. The weather for the most part was unfavorable for meetings. This church, which is composed of Danish and English members, seems to be in a flourishing condition. They have a Sabbath-school of eighty scholars. We spent three Sabbaths with the church at Fremont. This church has been passing through trials; but the cloud is breaking, and we trust there are better days for them. We also met with the friends of the cause at Lind, Waupaca Co. The truth has steadily gained friends here since we first spoke to them three years ago. On Sabbath twenty-one bore testimony, one of whom was a brother ninety-seven years of age. I have also held a few meetings with the church at New London. They are somewhat behind in taking hold of some of the reforms and the tithing system, but most of them seem ready to learn and obey. I spent a few days at Clintonville. Here are twelve Sabbath-keepers, heads of families, besides children. They have a Sabbath-school, and are trying to let their light shine, that others may be led to glorify our Father which is in Heaven.
