The Western Washington Camp-Meeting
By E. L. Stewart
THIS was the largest and one of the best camp-meetings ever held in this conference. Its results will reach into eternity. It was located in Seattle, and the grounds and weather were ideal. Some interest was aroused among the people of the city. From eight to twelve asked for Bible readings at the close of the meeting. Plans were laid and movements set on foot which will bring forth fruit in the kingdom of God. Our workers were offered to the Mission Board, and their support pledged. The educational work as the solution of the question, What shall we do for our children and youth? was the leading issue in the meeting. Our Forest Home Academy proved so successful last year that it was decided to open another school this fall in the southern part of the conference. Three thousand dollars was voted, and nearly half the amount was raised in cash and pledges for placing these two schools in successful operation. Brother Van De Mark will be placed in the field at once to secure the remainder. There was an earnest seeking after God, and many precious victories were obtained on the ground. Thirty-three souls were baptized at the close of the meeting. A number of these, however, were rebaptisms. We hope to see the work progress in this conference during this year.
