TO THE PENNSYLVANIA BRETHREN.
By J. G. Saunders
OUR tent season is drawing to a close, and thus far God has greatly blessed our efforts. In view of this, we should promptly redeem our pledges made for the tent enterprise in our State this season. When these pledges were obtained, it was thought we should be able to put three forty-foot tents in the field, and New York to match us with three more; but at the Fillmore Park camp-meeting in Western New York it was thought best by the State Conference Committee in connection with a member of the General Conference Committee that we should run four tents in Pennsylvania, and that Pennsylvania should purchase one fifty-foot tent and one forty-foot, and New York should do the same. You will readily see that we could not visit all the places we had intended to visit, and we hope none will be offended on this account. Brethren, let us have no sectional feelings; the cause is one everywhere, and it is world-wide. Let us thank God for its prosperity, and take courage. Will Bro. Hiram Stebbins look after these pledges in the Ulysses church; O. P. Rice, in the church at Thorn Bottom, Tioga county; Ceylon Tubbs, in that at West Pike, Potter county; and C. H. Barrows, in the church at Port Allegany, McKean county? These pledges should all be paid by the time the New York and Pennsylvania Conference is held. Let us be found at our post, like minute men.
