The Gladstone (Mich.) Camp-Meeting

By C. A. HANSEN

This meeting was held on the shore of the DeMoquette Bay, where there was plenty of shade, and the place was of very easy access to the citizens of Gladstone. We had about thirty families represented; and as most of these live in a territory where they have but little ministerial help, the camp-meeting was to them a real feast.

Some of these members had been doing missionary work for their neighbors during the past year, and those who had accepted the message as far as they understood it, were further instructed at the camp-meeting and baptized. About eleven were buried with Christ in baptism on the last Sunday, making a most solemn impression on the large crowd that had gathered for the occasion.

Our young people all took an active interest in their meetings, and pledged themselves for the Master's service in finishing the work. We believe this was a most profitable meeting, and one that will long be remembered.

The meeting was carried on by our local help, assisted by A. C. Bourdeau, O. Soule, and J. B. Blosser.
