The California Tent-Meeting.
A COPY of the Yolo Democrat, dated June 15, 1872, published at Woodland, Cal., contains the following notices of the tent-meeting by Brn. Loughborough and Cornell now in progress in that place. The people call upon those who have so long been teaching them error, to support their positions, by good reasons, if it can be done. “THE TENT-MEETINGS.—The lectures at the tent continue to attract and interest our people every evening. As the speakers progress in their course they meet with opposition, particularly from other ministers of the same gospel they all profess to believe and teach; but, so far, none have gainsayed the positions taken, or responded to the invitations given to meet them in open, public discussion of the questions involved. A correspondent, whose communication appears in another column, calls upon the local ministry here to reply to Elders Cornell and Loughborough, before the same audiences, that they are misleading the minds of the people by preaching errors. And if, as our correspondent says, ministers have stated that it can be clearly shown from the Bible that the tent-men are wrong in their positions and doctrines, it seems to us to be due the public that the other side of the question should be given. It would be a matter of interest to all concerned—and as an outsider, in the words of all preachers, we would ask, ‘Are not all concerned?’”
