EVANGELISTIC TOURS
The responsibility of publishing the Trumpet required, of course,
that the editor spend a good portion of his time at the Publishing
Office. But Brother Warner's zeal for the evangelistic work, as well
as the demand for his services here and there in the field, took him
forth a good deal on various tours. An account of the principal tours
he made, and the events in connection therewith, is sufficient for a
chapter by itself.
For the first few years after the Trumpet started, he made frequent
trips. Of these we shall give no account, but shall begin the chapter
with a trip into western Pennsylvania in the summer of 1884. A
camp-meeting was to be held two miles south of Sandy Lake, in Mercer
County, beginning August 23. This was the second meeting for that
place, as one had been held there the previous year. He planned to
attend this meeting after holding a grove-meeting in Medina County,
Ohio, and he accordingly announced there would be no Trumpet issued
for August 15, since he expected to make this tour. Portions of his
report of the Sandy Lake meeting are here given. Quotations direct
from Brother Warner will enable the reader the better to comprehend
the man and to feel the touch of his saintliness; for there breathes
out from his words such a spirituality and devotion as is possessed
only by those who are thoroughly abandoned to God.
Glory be to the God of salvation-power! These words seem best
fitted to begin our report of this heavenly convocation. We were
met by conveyance at Stonesboro, and the very instant we entered
the precious grove of the saints' encampment we felt the presence
of God. Indeed it was wonderful. We were engaged in conversation
as we drove in and were not thinking of or expecting such a
glorious manifestation of God, when we were suddenly filled with
the consciousness of his holy presence, impressing heart and lips
in praises to his holy name....
