Ohio Tent.

By J. H. Waggoner

The meeting in West Unity, Ohio, has been held under unfavorable circumstances. Farmers were exceedingly busy, and the long drought is broken, and we have had considerable rain. But very few have been able to hear all the discourses, and where they do not hear regularly it takes much more time to do the work.

The interest is spreading, and seems to take deeper hold of late. We now think of remaining longer than we purposed before. The writing I have on my hands takes so much of my time and attention that I cannot visit very much, and this is the kind of work that is much needed here now. What may yet be done here we cannot judge, but pray the Lord to send prosperity.

I wish to say to the brethren in Indiana that I am rejoiced at the effort they are making to secure a tent for their camp meeting. They need it, and they can get it. And they need to put forth this vigorous effort, for their own benefit, and for the encouragement of those who labor with and for them. The success of their camp-meeting will depend somewhat, I think, on the success of this effort they are now making.
