POPLAR BLUFF (MO.) CAMP-MEETING.
By W. S. Cruzan
THE local camp-meeting for southeastern Missouri, appointed to be held at Poplar Bluff, October 29 to November 4, is now in the past. The weather was warm and pleasant, except the last day, which was made cool by the first severe frost of the season. The attendance of our own people was not large. Sabula, Glen Allen, and Poplar Bluff were the companies represented. The evening services were well attended by the people of the city, and good attention was given to the word spoken. The burden of the message was the necessity of living a godly, consistent Christian life in order to be ready to meet the Lord at His soon coming. The different departments of the work—the Sabbath-school, missionary, educational, and canvassing work, etc.—were given some thought. The privileges of this meeting were greatly enjoyed by the brethren. Three persons went forward in baptism. Elder R. C. Porter and the writer were the laborers present.
