Northern New England Camp-Meeting

By W. B. WHITE

THIS meeting was held in Burlington, Vt., August 25 to September 4. The camp of about fifty tents was pitched on a rise of land overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain, and was one of the prettiest camp-grounds I have ever seen.

About two hundred fifty of our people from Vermont and New Hampshire were in attendance, and we are sure all were greatly strengthened by attending this meeting. The preaching was of a practical nature, designed to show the need of a preparation of heart to stand in the judgment. Deep conviction settled upon the people, and there was a genuine turning to God by old and young. A number from the city attended our meetings, and seemed interested. Elder A. J. Clark, with other helpers, had held a tent-meeting during the summer in Burlington, and a few had taken their stand for the truth. This camp-meeting was a great help to these believers, and established them more firmly in the faith.

The conference adopted resolutions approving the action of uniting Vermont and New Hampshire in one conference last fall; and accepted gladly their share of the $300,000 Fund, which is $2,601.60, and already have this amount more than half subscribed. They also definitely launched the campaign for “Ministry of Healing,” and took a number of books from the camp-ground to sell for the relief of the medical missionary work in the Atlantic Union. Our people also purchased a number of sets of Sister White's works to circulate among their neighbors.

A resolution was adopted favoring the holding of the next annual meeting in New Hampshire, and another separating the annual conference from the camp-meeting, holding the former in the winter and the latter in the summer. Elder W. H. Holden was re-elected president of the conference, with about the same conference committee as a year ago. Elder Geo. I. Butler was present, and his labors were much appreciated. His sermons on the spirit of prophecy and its relation to our work were helpful, and were enjoyed by all.

We can see the work in Northern New England rising in many ways, and the future looks bright.

There is a spirit to push forward with energy and earnestness, and we are sure God's blessing will attend every effort to advance his work in this field.
