The Mich. Tent.

By I. D. Van Horn

We have our tent nicely pitched in this place. We have given five lectures, and the people are becoming some interested. Our congregations are small, ranging from fifty to two hundred, yet they are large considering the place we are in.

But we trust, that the Lord has a people here that will receive his truth. As I wrote before, we were some discouraged when we came to this place, but we begin to be somewhat encouraged, for everything seems to work in our favor.

We have good freedom in preaching to this people; for the Lord helps, and we will praise his holy name. I want my heart fully set to do God's will, and the truth to have its sanctifying effect, upon my life, that I may always be found discharging my duty in such a manner as shall be well pleasing to the Lord.

Pray for us that we may have success in the work of the Lord. Yours in the truth.
