PALATKA.—The camp-meeting for the colored people here has been a glorious success. The praise of God is upon every lip. The prayer-meetings were well attended, and the heartfelt testimonies showed forth the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into the marvelous light of the third angel's message. In one of these services, prayer was offered for the children, and mothers and children wept together as the Holy Spirit visited them in convicting and converting power. The white brethren met with us whenever possible, feeding our souls with the bread of life, and their loving interest in us testified to the unifying power of the truth. The song services won for us many encouraging words from those not of our faith.
The ten commandments were dwelt upon by Elder A. L. Manous in a simple but most convincing way, and many frankly confessed their sin and ignorance. Our hearts were made glad; and we can truly say, “Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.” Our people visited the townspeople in the afternoon, and our tent is unable to seat all who come. A few have decided to obey.
