Missionary Returns and Camp-Meeting Progress

LAST week Dr. H. C. Menkel, who has been connected with the Seminary the past winter, left Washington on his way to India. He spends a few weeks in Philadelphia and New York in post-graduate work, and with his wife and little boy, will go on to India a little later. Dr. Menkel's services here while on furlough have been greatly appreciated, and as he and Sister Menkel return to the field they so much love, the best wishes and prayers of many will follow them.

AT the close of the camp-meeting season in the Australasian Union Conference Elder Morris Lukens reports that 270 were baptized and united with the church as a result of the spiritual blessings bestowed by the Lord upon the believers assembled in these general gatherings. Surely this is very encouraging and a splendid report of progress. The key-note of the meetings was, “Our great need as individuals and churches of a closer walk with God.” The outside attendance was large, an evidence of the interest in the truths of the message on the part of the people in the communities where the meetings were held. The workers are greatly encouraged by the good camp-meetings held during recent months.
