The Detroit (Minn.) Camp-Meeting

By Andrew Mead; C. M. Babcock

THIS meeting began September 12, and closed the 17th. Three English and two Scandinavian services were held each day. Sister Merickel held children's meetings, and Brethren Babcock and Olson held young people's meetings. Fifty-two persons camped on the grounds. A good interest was taken in the Sabbath-school work, also in the missionary campaign work. Sister Merickel led out in these lines of work. Different brethren took part in the deliberations, and these meetings were profitable to us all. A preaching service was held each afternoon, in English. Brother A. V. Olson conducted the Scandinavian services until Friday, then Elder John Anderson took charge of them. Brother C. M. Everest came Thursday, with a good supply of books, many of which he sold. Elder Shaw came Friday in time to take charge of the Sabbath service. Elder C. M. Babcock and the writer conducted the preaching service each evening, presenting some phase of present truth. The instruction given was blessed of God to the good of souls. The outside attendance was good at these evening services.
Fifteen persons have begun the observance of the Lord's Sabbath as the result of the tent effort, and others are much interested. Twelve souls were buried with their Lord in baptism; $47.25 was raised for the Maple Wood dormitory; ten orders were taken for Lifeand Health; five yearly subscriptions, one six-months' subscription, and one three-months' subscription were taken for the REVIEW AND HERALD, six subscriptions were secured for the Sabbath School Worker; two for the Youth's Instructor; five renewals and three new orders for the Minnesota Worker.
This meeting was a real blessing to all who attended, and was a help to the interest in this place, for which we praise the Lord, and labor on in faith. We desire the prayers of God's people.
