LAKELAND.—The camp-meeting held at this place November 1–11, for the colored people, was a successful one. The attendance of our people was greater than in former years. There were sixty campers on the ground. There was a good interest shown by those not of our faith. We continued meetings two weeks after the close of the camp-meeting. As a result, fifteen souls took a stand for the truth. These were not children of Seventh-day Adventist families.
At the close of the camp-meeting Elder Sydney Scott baptized eight in the lake of Bulah. A Sabbath-school of fifteen adults was organized with assistant officers from among the new ones.
The tithes from the colored members amounted to a little less than five hundred dollars this year. We are sorry that it was not greater; but we have a bright future before us in this conference. At the present time we have but two workers among the colored people in this State. We hope our corps of laborers will not always be so small, but that the Lord of the harvest will send other workers into the field to labor for the colored people of Florida. May God bless the work in this field.
