South Missouri Tent.

By T. J. Butler

This tent was taken down yesterday, and will not be pitched again the present season. The last meeting was held at Nevada City, for three weeks. The nights were generally uncomfortably cool, which prevented as good an attendance as was desired, and which made it necessary also to close sooner than we otherwise should.

At this place, some ten are now rejoicing in the truth. May the Lord shield them as the apple of his eye and grant them grace and strength to persevere to the close. As the result of the labors under this tent, some eighty have embraced present truth; to whom we would say, So run that ye may obtain. Ye are not crowned except ye strive lawfully. The only way to build on the Rock is to hear Christ’s sayings, and do them. T. J. Butler.
