U. S

By Uriah Smith

Seventeenfold.

This is a large increase to take place in a few years, yet the cause of present truth presents, in some respects, an increase thus marvelous. It is not a great length of time since the first tent was put into the field. And we well remember how it was thought a few years ago, when three tents were put into operation in different localities, that a pretty strong force was enlisted to carry on this work. But the present year we have, not three only, but some fifty tents, mostly sixty feet in diameter, doing service in the good cause. Brethren, remember in fervent, effectual prayer those who are laboring with the tents this season. Sister White, on the Minnesota camp-ground spoke of the duty of the church in this respect, and testified that the laborers would accomplish double the good that they otherwise would, if the church sustained them as they should, by earnest prayer to God. Remember this, and let not any measures of success be withheld by our unfaithfulness.
