Indiana Local Camp-Meeting

By W. A. Young

This meeting was held at Linton, September 9-19, for the benefit of those residing in the southern part of the State. The attendance from this section was good, there being about one hundred fifty persons present. From the first, the spirit of the meeting was excellent. On the first Sabbath most of those in the camp earnestly sought a greater consecration. On the second Sabbath, many others joined them in seeking the Lord.

It was also voted at this meeting that the business sessions of the conference be held in connection with our general camp-meeting. The matter of new tents, also the refurnishing of the Beechwood dormitories, and a special donation for mission fields, was presented, and the people heartily responded.

The Beechwood Academy and Wabash Valley Sanitarium were each represented, and recruits were added to the classes in both institutions. There were a goodly number of bright young people at the meeting, and they had interesting meetings twice each day. A good work was done, we believe, for the youth here.

There was a good outside interest, and the meetings were continued for one week on the camp-ground, by Elder C. J. Buhalis and the writer. The former has now gone to La Fayette to take up the work assigned him there, and Elder U. S. Anderson has joined me, and we are now moving into the town, where we shall continue the meetings. Elder F. W. Spies, of South America, and Elder Allen Moon, of the Lake Union Conference, gave excellent help in the meetings. W. A. YOUNG.
