ONTARIO

By W. H. SPEAR

CARLETON PLACE.—Our camp-meeting at Guelph, from June 14-24, was an enjoyable occasion. The grounds were beautiful, a goodly number of our brethren and sisters attended, the weather was pleasant, and the meetings crowded. But above all, God was there with his blessing and providential guidance.

No work having been done in the eastern part of our province, Elder F. D. Starr and I began tent-meetings in Carleton Place, July 19. We have seen many manifestations of God's providence since then. Often it has looked as if the way would be blocked up because we lacked ground on which to pitch our tent. But our extremity has always been God's opportunity. We were unable to secure the use of a lot centrally situated, except one belonging to the town, and we had the assurance of that for only ten days. However, as it was the only opening, we pitched our tent and began meetings. We would have had the permanent use of this ground but for the complaints of the Methodists, whose church was directly opposite the town lot.

Since moving to our new location, we have presented the Sabbath truth, and last Sunday evening, after a discourse on the Third Angel's Message, eight persons promised to obey.

We hear encouraging reports of our brother ministers, who are battling for the right in other parts of the province. W. H. SPEAR.
