The North Texas Camp Meeting

By H. H. Hamilton

THE North Texas camp meeting this year was held in Dalworth Park, halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, in a beautiful location furnished us by the Dalworth Company. The attendance was the largest in several years.

Besides the local and union conference workers, we were pleased to have with us Elder F. W. Paap, whose labor and instruction in home missionary work were appreciated. We experienced a genuine revival in the tract work, more than $80 worth of tracts being sold at the close of one service. At another meeting about one thousand copies of “The World’s Crisis” and one hundred and twelve volumes of the “Testimonies for the Church” were sold. Subscriptions were taken for the REVIEW and for Liberty. The secretary of the tract society said that his book sales were much beyond his expectations.

We truly rejoice to see a revival of such work as formerly characterized every Seventh-day Adventist camp meeting, and made us a people known everywhere as having our religion in our hearts and heads, and as able to give a stranger a tract on any subject to help him remember what we said in conversation.

Very few changes were made in the officers of the conference. In all the business sessions the Spirit of the Lord was truly felt. An offering of $2,310 was made for the Twenty-cent-a-week Fund. At the close of the meeting about a dozen were baptized.
