Tent-Meetings for the Colored

By J. C. Miller

MERIDIAN, MISS.— We arrived here on June 12 to join the Meridian tent company. Elder N. B. King also arrived a few days later to assist. On account of the delay of our tent, we did not begin meetings as early as we had expected. The first meeting was held on the twenty-seventh, a goodly number being present. All seemed very much interested in the discourse.

The tent has a good location, being surrounded by the best class of colored people in the city. This is the first effort that has been made here for the colored people, and there are thousands waiting to hear the truth. We believe that many of these will come into the ark of safety during these meetings.

The annual camp-meeting for the State will be held here August 30 to September 10. We trust that all our colored brethren who are able to do so, and who live within a reasonable distance, will attend. Let all who come plan to be present at the beginning of the meeting, and join us with the determination to make this the best camp-meeting we have ever held. Our hearts are full of gratitude to God for his manifold blessings, and we solicit your prayers for the success of the work here.
