WM. S. INGRAHAM

By Wm. S. Ingraham

From Bro. Ingraham.

As Bro. Pierce has said nothing in relation to our good camp-meeting in Minnesota, I wish to write a few lines. After calling long, and praying much, we were permitted to see the faces of Bro. and Sr. White, accompanied by Brn. Andrews and Ertzenberger, and hear their voices in the proclamation of the truth on the camp-ground. We were glad that they did not have to meet opposing elements in our State, but our brethren were ready to take hold of the work with them. Bro. and Sr. White have ever lived in the hearts of Sabbath-keepers in Minnesota, and still more since the camp-meeting.

Freedom was enjoyed by those who preached the word. Especially did we feel grateful to our Heavenly Father for raising up Bro. White from feebleness of mind and body, and arming him with strength physically and mentally to proclaim the present truth as clearly, if not more so, than at any time in the past.

Every sermon was interesting and profitable, to both the church and world. Sr. White’s sermon on Sunday was listened to by all with great attention.

This camp-meeting makes us long for another, and we shall have everything in readiness to enjoy another like season next June, requesting Bro. and Sr. White, and such help as they think proper, to attend. We were sorry that all our brethren did not learn the change of the time in the appointment. Quite a number started for the meeting one week too late, and one brother came eighty miles (fifty, on foot) and reached the place after the close of the meeting. But may the Lord reward them for their labor.
