TENT MEETING IN WAKEMAN, HURON CO., OHIO.

This meeting held over two Sabbaths, the interest remaining to the close. Many acknowledged the truth and a few resolved to obey it. Several were eager for the books, and are reading with interest. The result of this effort might have been more permanent, had not my voice failed. I found that I was not able to do all the preaching in the open air, necessary for a full course of lectures. Many of the scattered Sabbath keepers in this part of the State came to this meeting, and were much revived.
An intelligent young man came up from Oberlin on the last day of the meeting, and heard three discourses. He had been keeping the Sabbath a short time, but never heard any preaching on the subject before. He had been to Cleveland to get some books of Bro. Stewart, and read them by night when others were asleep. It was truly encouraging to us all, to see how rejoiced this brother was to hear preaching on the present truth. He reports that there is some interest to read among the students at Oberlin, and we fitted him out with some tracts, books, and double numbers of the Review to scatter among those interested.
I regret the necessity of laying by the Ohio tent, but I find it is not possible for me to endure the labor alone. I trust the friends in Ohio will be free to excuse me under the circumstances. I can see no other light now but to join with Bro. Andrews in N. Y. The Ohio tent funds now in my hands, I will soon return to the treasurer. After much prayer, I feel very clear about going to N. Y. The field is the world, and the cause is one, and we should rejoice in its prosperity anywhere.
