Tent Operations.

By James White

THERE are not many meeting-houses in the highways and hedges. If there were, they would probably be soon closed against the Message. And people will turn out much better to a tent meeting than to a meeting in the old place of worship. What is the Wisconsin Tent doing this Summer?

At our Conference in May, it was voted to send the Michigan tent into new fields. A Tent Committee of five was chosen. All felt that those who went out with the Tent should volunteer. A brother volunteered to move the tent from place to place for five weeks. Another brother volunteered to assist. Preachers cheerfully came forward to go with the Tent. God has wonderfully blest the arduous labors of his servants. Bro. Waggoner has returned to his family worn and unwell. Bro. Bates takes his place. Bro. Cornell is much worn, and has been from home about ten weeks. Brethren in Michigan will cheerfully sustain well directed efforts to spread the truth.

You can send means to meet Tent expenses, or for Tent horse and buggy to the Office. J. W.
