Back at the farm [July 1920 at Hiram Weaver's], the arrangements for the meetings had been completed. Besides the large two-center-pole tent were there three smaller tents - one for eating, the others for sleeping quarters for the workers. Food was supplied by donations in kind from the local people and by invitations to meals. Coal oil lamps provided the lighting at night and boards served for seats (later tent campaigns would use canvas seats). Assisting Whisler was a complement of "worker" - John Nigh (who shared in the preaching), Fidella Nigh (song leader), Ethel Hallman (from Ohio), Sarah Climenhaga (from Bertie), and Jemima Elliot (Fred's wife, recently become a widow). These workers visited in the community, prayed eanestly for the success of the revival in workers' prayer meetings, and by their presence and spiritual singing helped to add to the revivalistic tone of the meeting. In personal and physical arrangements, this first tent meeting set the tone for many others that followed, at Cheapside and elsewhere.
