Maine Tent.

By J. B. Goodrich; A. Barnes

We pitched the tent in Patten village, July 3, and have given nine discourses. There is a good deal of prejudice in this place against the Second Advent doctrine, caused by the course of some fanatical persons who have borne the name of Adventists. When we arrived in the place, and put up our tent, the cry was raised, They are time-setters; they are spiritualists, &c.; but as we began to labor to correct such reports, the Lord gave us help; and we seem to be getting access to the hearts of some.

We were rejoiced to see two young men come to our meetings last Sabbath and first-day who live twelve miles from here, and who embraced the Sabbath about one year ago by reading Bro. White's Life Incidents. They had never before heard a discourse by a Seventh-day Adventist minister. They returned with their hearts full of joy, taking with them about $4.00 worth of tracts to help others to see the same glorious truth which they are now rejoicing in. One subscribed for the REVIEW.

Brethren and sisters in Maine, let us do our duty in circulating tracts. We can all do something. We can lay by a few dollars or cents, and put them into the tract fund, and help some one to see the truth; we may thus help forward the cause of God. Remember us in your prayers. J. B. GOODRICH, A. BARNES. Patten, July 10, 1871.
