quote: "I came to this section of country, on account of some difficulties existing in the branch of the church called the Pittsfield Branch, in Brown Co., Wis., near Green Bay, which was necessary to be looked into; and I am happy to state that my labors have resulted favorably in relation to the same. . . The Pittsfield Branch I found in an unfavorable condition, and the enemy had made a hard struggle to impede the progress of the work there; but things are again in working order, and to God be the praise."
