A Call to the Brethren and Sisters in Iowa.

By Henry Nicola; J. T. Mitchell; Jacob Hare

ALL who attended our camp-meeting in June know the circumstances which led to the purchase of another tent. To those who were not there, we would say, that owing to the many calls for labor, the widening nature of the work, and from the fact that there were brethren who were willing to acquiesce in the judgment of the Conference to move out in the work, it was thought best to purchase the tent. A call was made upon the ground for this purpose. $365.55 were subscribed. Some over $200 were paid, leaving near $150 unpaid. Cost of tent, $405. It will be necessary to raise near $50 more to meet the balance. As there are many who were not at the camp-meeting who will feel it a duty as well as a privilege to bear their part in this matter, we invite them so to do. Send your subscriptions either to L. McCoy, Conference Secretary, Sigourney, or Minos Miller, Conference Treasurer, Knoxville. Do not be afraid of sending more than will be necessary. If there should be more raised than will be required for the tent it will be faithfully applied to other branches of the work. And to those who have subscribed and have not paid we hope the subscriptions will be sent in as soon as possible, that the expenses may be met and the matter closed up.
