MISSOULA (MONT.) CAMP-MEETING.
By W. B. White
This meeting convened, as appointed, in the city of Missoula, August 23 to September 1. The camp was pitched on the Rattlesnake Creek in a grove of cottonwoods, which was a quiet, sheltered place for such a meeting. There were thirty tents upon the ground, and one hundred and nineteen persons attended the meeting, the majority of them camping upon the ground. The laborers present from abroad were Elders J. N. Loughborough and W. T. Knox, while of the Montana workers, Elder J. H. Behrens, R. D. Quinn, and the writer were present. Four services were held daily in the large tent, and two for the children. These meetings were well attended, both by our people and by the citizens of Missoula. A good spiritual influence pervaded the meetings, and many hearts were encouraged and built up in the faith. Six received baptism, and united with the church. The preaching was of both a doctrinal and a practical nature, and seemed to be greatly appreciated by all. The children's meetings were greatly enjoyed by the little ones, and were well attended. They were conducted by Mrs. R. D. Quinn, assisted by Sister Norris, Lulu White, and Mabel Brandt. The expenses of the meeting were fully met, and all returned to their homes with good courage in the Lord, determined to press on in the Christian race. W. B. WHITE.
