Report from the Michigan Tent
By I. D. Van Horn
Bro. White: We are enjoying ourselves well. Our health is good, and we have a good degree of freedom in speaking forth the words of truth. Yesterday, we had a congregation of upwards of two hundred at each of the three meetings held in the tent. In the afternoon, Eld. Webb, a Methodist minister, occupied86the tent by invitation. He stated on the start that he had no big guns to use, but that he should throw some hot shot. And truly, he did; but they went hissing far over the heads of the sensible, and only lodged in the breasts of those who love fun. The truth remained unharmed. We feel to praise the Lord for the truth. This week will probably test the interest the people have in our meetings; for the Methodists have a camp-meeting within four miles of us. This may hinder us some, and we may have to stay longer in consequence; but we trust it will all work out for good in the end. Pray for us, that success may attend our labors. In hope of life. Alma, Mich., Aug. 1, 1864.
