The Simcoe (Ontario) Meeting

By I. H. Evans

SELDOM has it been my privilege to attend a camp-meeting more favorably located than the one held at Simcoe, Ontario. In a well-shaded greensward, in the very heart of the village, the camp was neatly located. The place had already been consecrated by a long series of tent-meetings held by Brother M. J. Allen and wife, and other helpers. Several had given their hearts to the Lord. The night meetings were well attended, and on Sunday morning at nine o'clock we had a baptism, in which twenty-seven candidates went forward.

The meeting passed off pleasantly, and it was a great pleasure to me to be present. I met some of the workers with whom I had labored in past years, and I rejoiced to find them actively advancing the third angel's message.

Brother H. T. Curtis made a report of the operating of the Lornedale Academy, and it brought good cheer to the hearts of all present. This school is doing a good work for Ontario, and it deserves the support and patronage of all the believers in the conference.

I met some bright young people at this meeting, whom I hope to see connect with the work of the message soon. Ontario is a splendid field for labor. The people of that province are religious, are lovers of the Bible, and are earnest in their service to the Lord. There should be a rich harvest of souls gathered into the garner of the Lord in the coming years. I. H. EVANS.
