TENT SEASON IN NEW YORK.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

THREE weeks more and it will be warm enough to pitch our tents in this State. We are very anxious to make the most of this season and use all our available forces. We have preachers enough so that we shall run six tents. We hope to make a stir somewhere.

Most all our churches, in this Conference have been visited and labored with this winter. Much valuable time has been spent with them. Our leading ministers in the State have given all their time to it since last fall. Now these churches ought to be in a good condition, so that they can live and grow and work during the summer without any more labor. They must make up their minds to do this so as to leave us all free to raise up new churches.

There will be perhaps a half dozen small churches who will receive little or no labor before tent season; but early in the fall we shall commence with these, and give them all the labor they need. I now expect to remain in the Conference, another year. Necessarily our expenses will be much larger this year than usual. We shall need every dollar of our S. B. promptly paid up. Brethren and sisters, let us lift, and work, and pray together.
