Ohio Tent.

By J. H. Waggoner

I ARRIVED in this place last Sixth-day, and found the tent erected, and Brn. Holt and Butler present. There is a thickly settled country around here, and under ordinary circumstances we might reasonably expect a large attendance. But about the time the tent was pitched the weather became quite cold; the evenings were frosty, so much so as to do much damage to the farming interests. This increases the labor and cares of the farmers, and still more diverts their minds from all-important things. The weather continued cold till after my arrival, and with a change of weather came heavy rains.

We can form no idea what the issue will be. Our hope and trust are in the promises, and our prayer is that the Lord will direct our efforts, and guide us in the way we should go. We ask the prayers of the churches. J. H. W.
