Newton Tent Meeting.

At the monthly meeting with the brethren at Newton, Mich., Aug. 9th and 10th, the old Michigan Tent was pitched in an oak grove, which rendered our position for the worship of God most comfortable and delightful. The gathering of believers was larger than was anticipated. About fifty went out from Battle Creek, leaving the congregation behind at the House of Prayer much reduced. All enjoyed this meeting exceedingly. Some of the oldest soldiers in the cause said it was the best meeting they ever attended. The pointed truth was proclaimed with great freedom, and joyfully received by the brethren. Probably every brother and sister looks back upon the tent ground with feelings of love and praise to God for the season of refreshing there enjoyed. The blessing of the Lord especially attends these monthly gatherings.
