Tent Meeting at Rice Lake, Minn.

By Washington Morse; F. W. Morse

THE tent was pitched at this place June 19th and 20th, and remained over four Sabbaths. The meeting, we trust, will result in bringing out honest souls, but the majority of the people in this region have heard and rejected the first and second messages No greater light will ever be given them. Very unfortunately for us, the people assembled at this place to celebrate the aniversary of the national independence. This injured the interest of our meeting seriously. The Lord gave freedom in presenting the truth to this people. We leave the result with him. The burden of the labor came upon Bro. Bostwick, who indeed did not shun to declare God's counsel to the people here. May the Lord bless him, is our prayer.
A portion of our brethren have brought forward their offerings promptly. We hope none will neglect to carry out the resolutions made at our State conference. Let us all remember that God will not help us unless we endeavor to help ourselves.
The tent is laid up until after harvest, and the tent company go into the harvest field to labor, hoping to commence again after the harvest is over. What say you, brethren, will you aid in the enterprise?
