By L. D. SANTEE

I LEFT home July 3 for the purpose of laboring with Bro. Blanchard in the tent the present season. Reached this place the evening of the 4th. Found Bro. Blanchard very busy, arranging his affairs so that he could leave. The tent had not arrived, but had been ordered by Bro. Butler, and is now on the way.
Spoke to the church Sabbath, the 6th, and since that time have visited many of the brethren in this place. We find they were greatly benefited by the plain, practical preaching given at the camp-meeting. Some still cherish in their hearts the leaven of unbelief, and the spirit of fault-finding. May the Lord help them to cast out these evils, or they will assuredly cause them to be sifted out in the coming day of trial.
Sabbath, July 13, we spoke twice to the church at Georgia City. We were rejoiced to find them in a flourishing condition. They were brought out through the labors of Bro. Blanchard, and under the care of Bro. Wood, their leader, they are growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
The day following, I spoke to the brethren in Nashville. We endeavored to show them that the day of the Lord is near, and hasteth greatly. We divided the evidences into three divisions; viz., civil, religious, and natural. The Lord gave us good liberty while presenting his truth.
Returned to this place the 15th. We have just learned that the tent has arrived. Pray for us, that our ministry may be blessed in the salvation of many. L. D. SANTEE.
