Ohio Tents.

By H. A. St. John

DEAR BRETHREN IN OHIO: We have three tents in our Conference, but each of these tents should by all means have a new top before it is fit for the summer campaign. It will cost nearly $400 to fit them all up as they should be. We may not have use for them all next season, but two of them, at least, should be fitted up at once, and it will cost us less to have this work done this winter, than to wait until spring; and besides if we delay beginning the preparation now, we may fail to get them ready in time. Our Conference fund is not sufficient to fit up our tents and run them besides. So we here and now appeal to all our people in Ohio to send their pledges to A. A. Hutchins, Conference treasurer, at once. If all will cheerfully do what they can we think we may have our tents fixed without touching the Conference funds. This is just what we would like to see accomplished.

Pledges should be paid on or before Aug. 1, if possible. If you can send the money with your pledge, all the better. Now who will come up to the help of the cause in this matter? Address, A. A. Hutchins, Clyde, Sandusky Co., Ohio. H. A. St. John.
