ELROY.—The general meeting held here January 10, 11, was well attended, and much of the good Spirit of the Lord was present. Eld. H. W. Decker did most of the preaching, which was principally upon practical subjects, and was well received by the people. The company at Elroy were brought into the truth as the result of tent labor at that place last summer. They are united, and have built themselves a house of worship during the last fall. The house is very neatly finished off, and presents a fine appearance, especially on the inside. Sunday morning it was dedicated to the Lord, Eld. Decker preaching the discourse. Before proceeding with this service it was thought best to provide for what debt there was against the house, which was but $30; and this was promptly done by pledges for the same. The subject of singing was presented and well received by the church.

In the afternoon of Sunday a church was organized of twenty-seven charter members. Others are expected to unite soon. It was voted that the church be called the Elroy church, and that a request be made that it be taken under the watch care of the Wisconsin Conference. An elder was elected, and a deacon appointed, and both were ordained to their respective offices.
