A SOLILOQUY.

By H. A. St. John

I LIVE in Ohio. Our Conference has three tents in the field this season. Oh, may the Lord bless with a large measure of his Spirit each and all of these tent companies, that they may be instruments in his hands of bringing many souls to rejoice in the present truth. It is certainly my duty to ever pray for them, and this I feel resolved to do.

Now let me see; is there any other duty I owe to these brethren and the cause? Oh, yes, now I remember a very important duty. I have promised to pay Systematic Benevolence—a tithe—the Lord's reasonable demand—to sustain the preaching of the gospel. How recreant to duty shall I be if unfaithful here. I am resolved to be faithful and prompt in fulfilling my vows. Ah! here comes the S. B. treasurer now, and I will make him happy, besides doing but my reasonable duty to the Lord, by paying present obligations. H. A. St. John.
