OHIO

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

Springfield, August 14.

The tent-meeting in Springfield is still in progress, with a spreading interest. Congregations do not average as large as we hoped, but the interest seems to be increasing. We are every day hearing of some new one convinced of the truth. Many are “almost persuaded.”

We have had no open opposition, except in the way of getting up every imaginable thing to divert the minds of the people. We have had mostly good weather. Our meeting last Sabbath came near being an entire failure on account of a heavy rain. Six were baptized Sunday morning. It was a most interesting and profitable season, and the influence of it was good on the cause.

We regret that the coming of the camp-meeting is going to close our labor here so soon. We hope, however, that an opening may be found to continue the work here after the camp-meeting.

Bro. Stone left early this morning for Indiana. We shall all miss him much. Hope he may return to the Ohio camp-meeting. J. H. WAGGONER.
