OHIO

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

Springfield, July 24.
THE meetings in the tent in Springfield commenced July 10. A camp-meeting of the colored people was in operation on the fair-ground, and still continues. This has probably had some influence on our congregations. But the interest is steadily spreading and deepening. We have spoken on the subject of immortality, and sold quite a number of books on the subject. It seems to be well received generally. Monday night a large congregation gave earnest attention to a discourse on the United States in prophecy. This did much to increase the interest, as a good number came to hear that who had not been out before. Last night Bro. Stone gave a discourse on spiritualism, which was well received. We shall now come directly to the message and the Sabbath.
The ministers are doing what they can against our meetings. It is a repetition of history—the scribes and Pharisees shutting up the way to the kingdom of Heaven; neither entering themselves, nor suffering others, who would, to enter.
The Daily Republic admits quite extended reports of the sermons. Thus the truth is presented to many outside of those who attend the meetings. May God give the increase. J. H. Waggoner.
