Note from the Ohio Tent.

By I. D. VAN HORN.; R. J. LAWRENCE.

We closed our meeting in Bellville the 12th inst., and the result is that about forty are keeping the Lord's Sabbath, and the impression left on the minds of the people is good; for they yet have an ear to hear the truth. I met with them last Sabbath and we had a good meeting. The Universalists have kindly granted us the privilege of using their meeting house in which to hold our meetings. There were over one hundred present at our Sabbath meeting, and the most of them are much interested. They have a good many of our publications among them, for we have sold about $120,00 worth. By continuing to labor for them we have good reason to believe that there will be a company in Bellville who will keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

We have our tent now pitched in Fredericktown, a place a little larger than Bellville and about nine miles south. We have given eight lectures and the people are manifesting much interest to hear the truth.

The weather has been quite bad and rainy, which has hindered many from attending. We have quite large congregations as it is, and we enjoy good freedom in presenting the truth to them.

The blessing of the Lord is manifestly with us, to help in advancing the cause of truth. We have hopes that the effort with the Ohio tent will not be in vain. Continue to pray for us.
