H. A. ST. JOHN

By H. A. St. John

Ohio.

LEFT home Aug. 25, to join Bro. T. J. Butler in tent labor in Ohio. Found the new tent pitched in Fostoria, Seneca Co., where Bro. B. had been preaching about one week. There was so little interest here, and the site of our tent, which was the best that could be obtained in the city, so uninviting, it was deemed advisable to move to a better locality. Accordingly, on Monday, Aug. 30, we moved to the village of West Mill Grove, Wood Co., about seven miles distant, and commenced meetings on Tuesday evening. Up to the present writing, we have had ten meetings, with fair-sized congregations.

We ardently hope, and sincerely pray, that in this place souls may be gathered out from the world by the last warning message, and fitted to stand when Jesus comes. We earnestly desire that our brethren in Ohio, especially, will remember this meeting at a throne of grace. Forget not the languishing cause in Ohio, brethren, but plead earnestly with God for the revival of his work in your midst.

I would take this opportunity, also, to earnestly solicit a general attendance at our soon-coming camp-meeting. It is indeed a disappointment to us all that Bro. and Sr. White cannot meet with us, but we sincerely hope that none will remain away on that account. We expect the efficient labors of Elds. U. Smith and D. M. Canright, and if we all come humbly praying that God will bless us and use us to his glory, nothing need hinder our having a good and profitable meeting. May God bless and speed the good work in Ohio.
