OHIO TENT NO. 2.

I REACHED Frazeysburg, where this tent is pitched, Monday evening, at 8:11. I went immediately into the stand and spoke to the people. This was the first time I had attempted to speak in the evening since about the middle of April. About two hundred were present, and good attention was given to the word spoken. The brethren had closed up their meetings here the night previous, and had commenced to take down the tent Monday morning, when they received my telegram. They immediately reseated the tent, and diligently circulated an appointment, which brought out about two hundred, as above mentioned. We have continued meetings up to this date with very good congregations and good attention.

There was an opposition discourse in the M. E. church yesterday at 5 P. M., and a reply in the tent in the evening. About four hundred were present. It is impossible to tell what the result will be. Only three persons, as yet, have taken a decided stand to obey. We are very anxious to pitch our tent in Norwalk this week, in another part of the city from tent No. 3, and to continue till camp-meeting; but we are not certain that we shall be able to get away from here this week. Brethren, do not forget to pray for us.
