Minnesota Camp-Meeting.

THIS meeting, held at Minneapolis, closed June 27. The attendance was quite large, some seventy-five tents being pitched on the ground. On Sunday a large and intelligent audience of people from the city listened to discourses upon some of the main features of our faith, that given at 4 P. M., by Eld. G. C. Tenney, of Wisconsin, being wholly upon temperance.
In many respects the results of this camp-meeting are very encouraging. A spirit of tenderness and harmony came into our midst, increased, and prevailed. Many were aroused to a deeper sense of the lukewarm condition of the people of God, and the danger of the times in which we live, and resolved to devote themselves renewedly to the service of God.
Measures were taken to secure a greater circulation of our reading matter. The work of canvassing received special attention, and several proposed to engage in the work. Some fourteen order-books for "Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation" were taken.
To the testimonies which were freely read from the desk is attributable in a great degree the good results of the meeting. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." Zech. 4:6.
