HOT SPRINGS (S. D.) CAMP-MEETING.
By N. P. Nelson
The Hot Springs camp-meeting is now in the past, but the memory of it will long linger in the minds of those who were present. It was a profitable meeting. Many of the brethren came more than one hundred miles over rocky and hilly country to attend the meeting. They came for a spiritual refreshing, and were not disappointed. Elders Warren and Shultz were present, and rendered valuable help in the meeting. Professor Bland was there in the interest of Union College, and Dr. M. C. Heilesen was there from the sanitarium. About two hundred persons were camped on the grounds. Eighty dollars was given in money and pledges for the home and foreign missionary work. Twenty-three persons were baptized,—all young persons, the fruit of the three church schools held during the winter in the Hills and vicinity. Quite a number of brethren came down from Wyoming, where we have four colporteur wagons out selling our publications. That is about the only way in which the truth can reach the people there, as the country is thinly settled except in the mining camps. N. P. NELSON.
