Wausau (Wis.) Camp-Meeting
By Wm. Covert.
The camp-meeting was held at Wausau, Wis., according to appointment, June 9-19. There were probably three hundred and fifty persons encamped on the ground. The attendance from the city was fairly good. The majority of the Wisconsin laborers were present, and in addition to these, Elders J. N. Anderson, W. S. Hyatt, N. W. Kauble, and F. C. Gilbert attended the meeting. Not all of these brethren attended the whole time, but some of them were present at every meeting. There was much rainfall during the time that we encamped upon the ground, but the place was beautiful and well-adapted for the camp-meeting, and our tents were so pitched as to shed the rain, so but little inconvenience was experienced on account of the inclemency of the weather. The meeting was good from the beginning to the conclusion. It was remarked by almost all who were there, that it was the best camp-meeting that they had ever enjoyed. The Lord greatly blessed the people through the presentation of the truth. Fifteen persons were baptized the last Sabbath of the meeting. As far as the writer knows, every one went away from the meeting filled with courage. A tent-meeting will be continued in the city, to follow up the interest developed during the time of the camp-meeting.
