THE ROME, N. Y., TENT.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

With Brn. Buel and Wilber Whitney, I came to Rome, Wednesday, July 12. We found all things favorable. We secured a beautiful place for the tent, the most desirable of any in the city. We advertised in the papers, put out three hundred large posters 30x44 inches in size, and distributed three thousand hand-bills at the houses.

The brethren have taken great care to seat, light, and arrange the tent, tastefully. We also have an organ which helps us greatly in our music. The weather has been fine. At our first meeting, Saturday evening, we had about four hundred out, and at the next meeting, Sunday night, about seven or eight hundred. I never saw better order. Indeed, I have seldom seen a meeting open so favorably and with so extensive an interest as this one. But unless God specially helps us, Satan may bring in many things to destroy all this. D. M. CANRIGHT.
