The Mammoth Tent.

By Uriah Smith

As will be seen from the record of the proceedings of the Conference, it has been voted to procure a large tent, at least 80 by 120 feet, for use in the cause as occasion may require. Such a tent will comfortably seat two thousand people. The present season is so far advanced that it could not be used to any great extent this year, but it will be ready for the campaign of 1876.

We rejoice in this movement. It has a decided look in the direction of progress; and this it means. Its use would have been worth its entire cost, just for that rainy Sunday, at our Michigan camp-meeting. May it be early in the field the coming season, solemnly dedicated to the work of the last saving message to mankind. U. S.
