A GOOD SEASON.

By J. H. Cook

The Kansas Camp-meeting is now in the past; and as we look back to it, we can say no less than this: It was the best that we have ever had the privilege of attending. From the commencement of the meeting it seemed that God accepted the sacrifices the brethren had made in coming up to this meeting from the various parts of this large State, some coming a distance of three hundred miles, across the country, with teams.

It was cheering to us all to see Bro. and Sr. White again in our midst. They arrived on the camp-ground weary with their journey and excessive labor, but, if we were not mistaken, in the fullness of the blessings of the gospel of Christ. Full of hope and trust in God, they were prepared to infuse new life and courage into the hearts of the brethren and sisters. Of these experienced servants of God we can say, They never had a warmer place in the hearts of our people than they have to-day. In their preaching they seemed to be lifted above their infirmities, to rest on the strong arm of God, and to speak in the spirit and power of the truth.

Bro. White's counsel was of great value to us in our new Conference. His long experience in connection with this work has eminently qualified him for efficiency as a general counselor; and yet his counsels are given freely, as such, not with a spirit of dictation, but simply as counsel.
