Ohio Tent Meetings Encourage Believers

From Bro. Iden.

BRO. WHITE: I have been feasting for the last few weeks upon the word of God as presented by his servants. I have visited the Ohio tent four times since it was pitched in this State, and have formed a very happy acquaintance with the dear Bro. Lawrence and Van Horn.
I have been made almost to weep for joy while hearing them present the plain, unadulterated word of the Lord to the people, and seeing so many ready to receive it. The influence of the Spirit of the Lord was visibly manifest in the town of Bellville. Many hearts were turned to the Lord; and I am thankful for what my eyes have seen and my ears heard in that place.
I met with them last Sabbath, and was made to rejoice in seeing so many present, and hearing them talk of honoring God by keeping his commandments and the faith of his Son. The Lord has begun a good work there, and, I believe, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
I thank the Lord that his servants have been sent into this section. Although we are nearly forty miles from Bellville, and there is not a Sabbath-keeper nearer than fifteen miles from us, yet we feel much encouraged to press on, and renew our covenant with God, knowing that in a little while, He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Glorious hope!
Pray for us. St. Louisville, Ohio. J. IDEN.
