Irasburg, Vt., Tent Meeting.

By Josiah Hart; Frederick Wheeler

THIS meeting was one of interest. About one hundred and fifty were gathered on the Sabbath, and a large congregation on First-day. I think there was the best attention to the word spoken that we have witnessed at any of our Tent Meetings. There was an ardent desire in the church for a revival of the work of the Lord among them. Our hearts are encouraged while we see so many coming out to hear the truth.

Brethren, let us take hold of the work anew, praying the Lord to revive his work among us, that we may be prepared to nourish those who shall come into the truth. The way is opening wide. There are many who have ears to hear, and souls will be brought into the truth as fast as the church shall be prepared to receive them. Brethren, it is time we were awake. Gird on the armor anew. The Lord is waiting to be gracious. He is willing to give his Holy Spirit, in great measure, to those prepared to receive it. May the Lord prepare us for the work that is before us.
