Camp-Meetings and the Gospel Work

From every part of the field excellent reports reach us of the work being done at the camp-meetings in the various conferences. The meetings are resulting in a revival and quickening of Christian experience on the part of our members. There has been a goodly number of accessions to the church, many finding the Lord for the first time, and showing their faith in him by baptism. Plans have been laid at all the meetings for the earnest prosecution of the work. One purpose to-day possesses the minds of the people of God, and that is the carrying of the gospel message to earth's remotest bounds. What an inspiration is afforded by the concert of prayer which is daily ascending to God, and by the concerted effort being put forth in every field! Wherever we are in the harvest-field to-day, we may realize that we are not alone. We belong to the army of the Lord. We are members of the great family of God, including his children both in heaven and in earth. Heavenly agencies are cooperating with us. The Lord Jesus is going before us as our captain. We have the Holy Ghost as our guide. Surely in these considerations all should find courage and inspiration.
