East Jordan and Lapeer

By B. F. Stureman

Michigan

EAST JORDAN AND LAPEER.—Through the kindness of the East Michigan Conference I was enabled to accept the invitation to take charge of the music at the North Michigan camp-meeting.
About seven years ago I spent a year in this part of the State, during which time my labors were blessed in bringing quite a number to a knowledge of the truth, and seeing several of the churches revived. It was indeed a great pleasure to meet these brethren and sisters, and those with whom I formerly labored before the division of the Michigan Conference.
The Lord came very near at times, and altogether it was a good meeting, although the president of the conference felt that the meeting was somewhat affected by the absence of the General Conference brethren, and hopes that another year some will be there. Personally, I believe that our General Conference laborers are a great stimulus to a camp-meeting.
I was glad to see the marked difference in attendance over that of former years before the old Michigan Conference was divided, and I fully believe that the division has proved a great blessing to this conference.
The Lord has blessed the labors of Brother Wight and his colaborers, and from now on they are able, financially, to carry on their work alone. Two baptismal services were held, thirty-one going forward in that rite. We were glad to see Elder Moon present at this meeting, and able to take such an active part in it.
All went home much encouraged. Wehope and pray that success will attend this conference.
From here I went to Lapeer. After the sermon on the Sabbath and a good testimony meeting, we went to the river, where baptism was administered.
