San Francisco Tent-Meeting.

By John Norton Loughborough

This meeting, which has been in progress nearly two weeks, is well attended by an intelligent class of hearers. We have tried to heed Bro. White’s counsel to advertise thoroughly, which has served to draw in the people. Four numbers of a little paper, called The Tent-Meeting, have been circulated, and besides these 17,000 bills have been distributed in the cars and otherwise. These bills and papers not only advertise our meetings, but each contains choice reading matter, and a piece of music, which gives them a tone far above ordinary bills. They are not only eagerly sought for, but read and preserved.

The Lord has given freedom in the preaching, a deep interest is awakened; people take books quite freely, and we hope for good results. Pray earnestly for the success of this effort in San Francisco. —J. N. L., in SIGNS.
