OHIO TENT, NO. 1.

We closed our first series of meetings at Sabina, Clinton County, last night. Had a good hearing. Our sixty-foot tent was too small on several occasions. Candor and interest were apparent through the entire meeting, and so far as we have been able to learn, there is a very general acknowledgment of the truth, both among the laity and ministry. But we found it impossible to organize a society at present, as the cordial feelings prevailing in the churches seemed to promise the people the privilege of believing and living the truth in the communions already existing.
Much good seed has been sown at this meeting, and we feel confident that many good people will continue to cherish these solemn truths. May the good Spirit of the Lord continue to water the word, and impress the heart. Brethren in Southern Ohio have made great sacrifices for this meeting, and we confidently believe the Lord will bless their sacrifices; and that the leaven of truth will continue to work in Sabina till many shall cease to follow the traditions of men, and stand under the banner of the third angel, as he announces, “Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
We go to Antioch to-morrow, to pitch our tent in one of the handsomest localities in Ohio. The prospects for a large hearing are very flattering. Brethren and sisters, let your hearts go up to God for success.
