The Wisconsin Camp-Meeting.
By C. W. Stone
This meeting was held at Baraboo, from June 8 to 13. The camp was located near the town, the weather was fine, and the attendance good. About sixty tents were pitched upon the ground. Eld. O. A. Olsen and Eld. A. O. Johnson, assisted by Bro. A. B. Oyen, editor of the Advent Tidende, held meetings for the benefit of the Scandinavian brethren, while Elders Butler, Olsen, Decker, and myself did the preaching in English. Dr. J. H. Kellogg gave a scientific lecture Sunday afternoon upon the physical effects of alcohol upon the human body. A large audience was present, and the lecture illustrated by experiments and a set of charts prepared by Dr. Kellogg, was listened to with great attention. On the Sabbath day, opportunity being given, several manifested a desire to seek the Lord, by coming forward. This work was carried forward again on Monday, when the Spirit of the Lord rested upon the meeting so that many hearts were made tender, confessions of wrongs were made, and a large number separated themselves from the congregation, expressing a desire to commence the life of a Christian, or to receive more of the blessing of God, and to live more carefully before him. About thirty were baptized. In the evening three preachers were ordained. An excellent parting meeting followed, and the meeting closed at 11 P. M. It is very difficult to arouse the people to a sense of the awful danger of these last days. Satan is casting a deadly stupor over the minds of many. But earnest supplication at the throne of grace will bring light and help. Without this we cannot maintain the warfare; with it we can overcome. C. W. STONE.
