TENT MEETINGS.

By E. L. Barr

BRO. SMITH: I wish to say to those interested in the cause of present truth in Me., Mass., N. H. and Ct., that our tent will be in the field as early as the 20th of May, furnished with good, easy, portable seats, so that the tent can be pitched in any place where there are ears to hear.

To save time and expense we would commence in Ct., and pass through Mass. and N. H. to Me., and finish out the labors of the season in that State.

Will the church aid us by their prayers, and by looking out new places as early as possible, and forwarding their requests for meetings to some one of the tent committee in their State, and thereby save us much embarrassment and perplexity. As the names of the tent committee in N. H. have never been given in the Review, and not knowing who they are myself, I would say to those in N. H. that want tent meetings, and know not who the tent committee are, forward your orders to Robert Cochran, of Unity, who I presume will cheerfully give all the aid he can.

Let me say in conclusion, Dear brethren, have a mind to work and to work now. Whatever you have to do for your fellow-men to save them from error's broad destructive way, must be done quickly. Make no calculations for next year, but do all you possibly can this. "Be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace without spot and blameless."

E. L. BARR.

Somerville, Mass., April 6th, 1857.

P. S. All orders for tent meetings for the present may be sent to Bro. D. W. Johnson, Springfield, Mass.
