The End of the Camp-meeting Season.
By Editor
OUR series of Camp-meetings closed with the meeting at Pilot Grove, Iowa. We have had, in each section of the field, a large gathering of the people of God, and of the unconverted. Our meetings have been seasons of deep solemnity. The Spirit of God has at times powerfully moved in our midst. Certainly, we can never forget these solemn seasons of the Holy Spirit's presence. Many have been led to seek God, not only of the backslidden, but of those never before converted. May all these dear friends remember to pay their solemn vows. Many also have been deeply moved, who have, nevertheless, refused or neglected to act. With a considerable part of these persons, these camp-meetings will be the turning point in their destiny. They will prove their last special means of grace. Some of those who have neglected to seek God will soon lie down in the grave. How great the mistake to bid the Spirit of God depart for this time, and to wait till they have a convenient season. Reader, how stands the case with you! Have you improved or slighted these precious privileges? If the Spirit of God has not been forever grieved away, do now obey its tender voice. To-day is the acceptable time of the Spirit of God. To-day, repent and turn to God. Let all of us remember our solemn vows, and may the whole future of our lives be devoted to their fulfillment.
