To the Brethren in Indiana.
By Wm. R. Carpenter
You see by the report of Bro. Waggoner in Review No. 1, June 18, that we are without tent or laborers. The question arises, What shall be done? Shall we let the cause of truth die out, when there are so many calls for help from all parts of the field? The salvation of souls is at stake. Time is too short in which we have to work, to let any known, opportunity pass by without being improved. Now brethren we want a State Camp-meeting and in order to have one, we must have a tent. The subject was brought before the brethren of North Liberty, and the following sums, set opposite their names, were pledged to be paid within thirty days:
James Harvey, $50.00
Jacob Styles, 25.00
Wm. R. Carpenter, 25.00
Anson Worster, 10.00 Now I will ask, Will not Bro. Randolph of Owen County take this matter in hand and see the friends of the cause there in that part of the State; also Bro. Seaward or Covert in the central part of the State. Let us be prompt. The cause demands it. Will the General Conf. Committee inform us of the price of a sixty feet tent at Chicago, with or without the ropes and poles. Geo. F. Foster, 12 South Market St., Chicago, will furnish a large tent at the following figures:
60 ft. diameter, 12 oz. top, 10 oz. wall, $336.57
Sacks to put tent in, 3.80
Poles &c. 50.00
Total, $390.37
