Arkansas Camp-Meeting

By J. W. Dancer

After a series of meetings here in Pine Bluff, during which two women began to keep the Sabbath, we decided to hold a camp-meeting for the colored believers of Arkansas.
The meeting is now in the past, but its good influence will live on. Although I sent the first notice two weeks before the time of meeting, nearly the whole membership of colored Adventists in Arkansas was in attendance.
There were only about thirty of us, including the children, but we praise the Lord that we could get that many together on only two weeks’ notice.
On the last night of the meeting, we asked any who desired to take their stand to keep all the commandments of God and go with us to the kingdom to stand up. Five arose. It did our hearts good to hear them express themselves freely and fearlessly.
On Sabbath we went to the Arkansas River, and three dear souls were buried with their Lord by baptism.
