Spartanburg, S. C.

By C. G. Manns

WE began our tent-meetings on the second of May, with a good attendance. The interest is still good. As a result of our meetings, nine have connected with us. Seven of these have become members of the Sabbath-school. When the writer came to Spartanburg, there was no regular Sabbath-school; now our membership is twenty-three. The prospect for future success is encouraging.

We also have an interest about four miles in the country, where the members of our tent company go every Sunday to conduct a Bible reading. Last Sunday there were about thirty or forty present. We hope to bring out a number of Sabbath-keepers. We need your prayers.

A word in regard to our camp-meeting which will be held for the colored people in Orangeburg, S. C., August 29 to September 9. Let not any of us say that we are too poor to attend this meeting. Have faith in God. Plan to come, and work as you plan. You who have never attended a camp-meeting, make this one your first, and you will not wish to miss another. Bring your children. Let us call a solemn assembly and sound an alarm in Orangeburg, and let its inhabitants know that the coming of the Lord is near. We shall give further information about the meeting later. Get ready for the camp-meeting.

Our tent company is composed of five workers, who were formerly Oakwood students,—C. G. Manns, minister in charge; W. E. Strother, assistant; Miss Louise Lawrance, organist; Mrs. Mamis Strother and Miss Lillian Saxon, magazine sellers. C. G. MANNS.
