REMARKS.—A Tent is needed in Iowa, and the brethren there can get one if they think so, and sustain it the coming Summer. But the cause there is young, and they have not yet learned to sacrifice. A Tent is needed in Indiana. The friends in that State are few, but we judge willing to raise means for a Tent if necessary. The cause is one, and we propose that the friends of the cause West raise the necessary sum to purchase a Tent, and have Brn. Waggoner and Hull go forth into the harvest with it, as the Lord may direct them. We hope to hear from the friends West without delay. How much will each raise? and when? All who have any interest in this matter, will please let it be known at once.
Brethren in the West. Should you fail to do your duty in this matter, doubtless the devoted friends of the cause East would send a Tent West, and sustain those who should preach in it. But we feel confident that you will not be willing to be deprived of the privilege of, and blessing in, doing your duty in sustaining the cause West. The friends West are few and scattered, but some of them wealthy, and can do much if they lay their plans for it. The friends East are numerous, mostly poor, but many of them liberal. Covetousness, and slothfulness in putting forth efforts to advance the cause, is destroying our vitality everywhere. "It is hard times," is the great excuse, and instead of pushing the bar-der, many are waiting for better times, and are going to sleep over "hard times." Now, brethren, if we have in these remarks said truth, then it is time to awake, and do what God requires. Speak out freely, brethren, and fully on this subject. Doubtless we may be able to stir up one another, to provoke to love and to good works.
