The South Texas Local Camp Meeting

By H. H. Hamilton

The South Texas local meeting was held in Elgin, a place of about fifteen hundred inhabitants, twenty-five miles east of Austin. The meeting, which began June 10, was preceded by a tent effort by Elders Leland and Hampton.

It is usual to say in writing of a camp meeting, that there was an excellent interest. Such may be truly said of the meeting at Elgin, though the attendance was not so good as we wished. Many stirring sermons were preached by Brethren Watson, Leland, Hampton, and Harrison. The newspapers of the cities of southern Texas published several full reports of the topics discussed.

The meeting will close with many in the valley of decision. However, Brethren Leland and Hampton will remain in Elgin to follow up the interest.
