NEAR VAN WERT, OHIO.

By H. J. Spicer

The camp-meeting came too early for our work, requiring Bro. Gates to leave with the tent on the 8th inst. From far around came the word of disappointment, as the farmers were finishing their delayed harvest ready to attend more regularly.
Six joined us. Considering the bitterness against the few who were converted through reading before we came, we realize that the Spirit of God has been striving with the people. To close the work for the present, I held a few meetings in a saw mill, and finally spoke twice at a house, on Sunday the 12th.
The ministers are preparing to answer us, now that we have left the field, after which we confidently expect the conversion of at least six more who candidly want to hear the other side.
Labor will be bestowed here after camp-meeting. One promising young man, at whose request the tent was pitched here, will then commence lecturing, and soon attend the College. H. J. SPICER.
