MAINE TENT.

By J. B. Goodrich; S. J. Hersum

East Washburn, July 29.
Since our last report, the interest has steadily increased. Some have come from eight to fourteen miles to attend our meetings, and after hearing two or three discourses have returned home to keep the Lord’s Sabbath. Thus our tent-meeting here has opened a large field for future labor.
We have quite thoroughly canvassed the Sabbath and law questions, and so far as we are able to learn about twenty-two have decided to keep all the commandments of God. We remain here another week, and hope to see others start in the service of God. The people have come six miles on Sunday, when it rained hard, to attend our meetings; and when we expected to see but very few out, there were two hundred. But Satan will try to hinder all he can from obeying the truth.
Our brethren in this county, who so liberally took hold to buy the tent, are seeing some additions to their numbers. Pray for us. J. B. GOODRICH. S. J. HERSUM.
