"We now wish we had a 90 feet Tent. It is thought there will be 1500 or 2000 people here next First-day. The Tent remains in that place over three Sabbaths and First-days. We trust that the Brethren who are laboring with the Tent will be prospered in the great work of presenting the reasons of our faith and hope."
They should have the sympathy of all the friends of the cause. Let all do something to aid them in their work. It is too often the case that some excuse themselves from aiding the servants of God in their self-sacrificing labors for the salvation of perishing souls, because they think they are poor; yet these very persons are able to leave their business and attend meeting after meeting. This is wrong. Rather, let them be, "Not slothful in business, [but,] fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," at home, that they may have something to help the cause, and not burden the brethren at the place of meeting. We hope the brethren in Michigan will stay up the hands of the friends of truth and Church Order, and not be affected by a few disorderly spirits who have gone out from us, and are our bitterest enemies. It may be our duty to "mark," or note, some such who seek to cause division, that the flock may shun them.
