To the Churches and Scattered Brethren in Ohio.

By Ohio State Conf. Committee

DEAR BRETHREN: The large Ohio tent is now so badly worn that it is unfit for use, and we are under the necessity of purchasing another before the time for tent labor to commence. The old tent was bought when there were but few Sabbath-keepers in Ohio. Some contributed largely toward it, and we have reaped the benefit of their sacrifice. We hope all will feel it a privilege, as well as a duty, to take stock in the new tent, that the cause may still move forward, and many more be gathered into the truth. Let the clerk of each church start a subscription list, and see that all have an opportunity to contribute. The companies that are not organized can appoint one of their number to receive their pledges for this purpose. The lonely ones will also esteem it a privilege to help in this work. The money should be sent to O. F. Guilford, Castalia, Erie Co., Ohio, as soon as possible. The tent will probably cost from $500.00 to $550.00. Bro. Guilford will see that all sums are credited in the REVIEW. OHIO STATE CONF. COMMITTEE.
