Tent Meetings.

JUDGING from what we have seen, we are satisfied that the time has fully come to move out with Tents in the different States where suitable men can be found to preach the Word, and where there are friends of the cause ready to furnish the necessary means to meet the expenses of such an enterprise.
The time has come for the Lord's ministers to gird themselves anew for the work, and for the church to arise, and with their prayers, and some of their means, stay up their hands. The saddening trials which have arisen in some parts of the field, in consequence of false messengers, are passing away. The people have an ear to hear, and God forbid that we should hide our light under a bushel.
We think there should be a Tent in Central and Western New York. There could be six or eight meetings held this season, and we should be ready for early operations next season.
Those friends of the cause who would esteem it a privilege to give from $1 to $50 to purchase a Tent, and bear the expenses of Tent Meetings, will please address us immediately stating the sum they will give.
Those Churches wishing Tent Meetings held in their vicinity, should send in seasonable requests.
