TO THE CHURCHES IN OHIO.
By Ohio Committee
Those who attended the camp-meeting at Wright were astonished at the amount of labor performed by Bro. and Sr. White; and as calls came in, their minds seemed to be directed to the West, and we gave up all idea of receiving a visit from them in Ohio this fall, for it did not seem possible for them to pass through the two camp-meetings in the West, and labor as they did in Michigan. By this you may judge of our surprise and gratitude when we learned that they intended to attend the Ohio Conference, as appointed. It being too late to pitch the tent, it was decided to hold the Conference at Bowling Green, where we have a meeting-house, and a church large enough to entertain those who come from abroad. As the New York Conference immediately follows that in Ohio, the visit of Bro. and Sr. White in Ohio will necessarily be very brief, and we trust the friends at a distance will improve the opportunity of hearing them at Bowling Green. We think there never was a time when the labors of these servants of God were more needed among us. Never had they a more important and stirring testimony than they are now giving. The Lord has specially committed it to them, and he is owning the work, and blessing it to the good of those who gladly hear it. All who are acquainted with their labors know that they would speedily sink under them were they not daily sustained by the hand of the Lord. We urge upon all to pray for these faithful, toil-worn servants of God, and to come up to this meeting praying for the spirit and power of this last message to prevail among us, and renew your consecration to God, that the testimony to us may find a ready response in our hearts, that we may be benefited, and bring forth fruit to the glory of God. Brethren, remember our request, “Watch and pray.” Ohio Committee.
