“Encourage Such”

[UNDER this heading the editor of the Hanford (Cal.) Sentinel, in its issue of June 6, 1916, pays the following tribute to Seventh-day Adventists:—

“The Adventist camp meeting recently held in Hanford proved an unqualified success, according to those officials directly in charge of the session. Hanford people, regardless of religious predilections, should be pleased to note that this large gathering of ardent religionists has proved so successful and well worth while. It is a fine advertisement of the community in a quiet but effective way, and will doubtless cause the holding of similar camp meetings here in future. Hanford can well afford to offer every inducement to the Adventists or any other religious body to hold meetings in this city. Big men from all over the United States attended the recent Adventist session. It is very likely that these men will carry home with them excellent impressions of Hanford and the San Joaquin Valley. The indirect advertising thus secured cannot be computed, but it is, after all, usually productive of most lasting results. The Adventists here have set a splendid standard for successful and effective camp meetings.”
