OHIO TENT, NO. 2.

This tent was pitched Monday, June 5, in Frazeysburg, Muskingum Co., Ohio. Frazeysburg is a small village of from three to four hundred inhabitants. There are two small churches in the place occupied by Methodists, Presbyterians, and Campbellites. The Methodist denomination is the first or leading one. Thus far the people have turned out well, especially the Methodists. The Methodist preacher and his wife attend our meetings; his wife is very much interested in the lectures, and has invited us to their house.
Our congregations average from two to four hundred. Many seem to be interested, and we feel that we have reason to hope for success. Bro. Wm. Cottrell, upon whom rests the burden of the work, has good freedom in speaking, and is of good courage in the Lord. Bro. O. F. Guilford and myself assist what we can.
Bro. Cottrell has calls to go to other places with the tent. It is impossible to fill the calls that are coming in. The harvest is ripe, and will soon be over. The precious grain is wasting. Remember, brethren, that each grain is precious in the sight of the Lord, and will add a star to the crown of him through whose instrumentality it is gathered into the spiritual garner of our Lord. Brethren, pray, sisters, pray, people of God one and all, pray, that God may send worthy laborers into the fields of falling grain.
