Florida Camp-Meeting for Colored People

By C. B. Stephenson

This meeting was held in Lakeland, October 30 to November 9. I understand that the largest delegation that has ever attended the annual meeting was present. The tent was filled to overflowing every night, and the prospect for a number of new Sabbath-keepers is good.

The instruction was timely and given with splendid effect. The business of the meeting was conducted harmoniously. Elders Sydney Scott and John Manns and the writer were the laborers present from abroad. Efficient help was rendered by workers attending the camp-meeting for white people, which was held in the city at the same time.

One church was received into the conference and one dropped. The reports were of an encouraging nature. Every tent effort conducted had been fruitful. Quite a number of persons are selling our good books. Over four hundred dollars, including the Sabbath-school collection, was raised for missions.
