GREENSBORO (N. C.) CAMP-MEETING.
By E. L. SANFORD
The North Carolina local camp-meeting was held in a beautiful grove at Greensboro, July 19-29. About fifty campers were on the grounds, and the meeting began with a good attendance, God's blessing resting on all. Although rain fell during most of the week, quite a number turned out, and one night the meeting had to be changed from a preaching to a social service. The laborers were Elders J. O. Johnston and R. D. Hottel, Brother Devalt, of Asheville, and the writer. The preaching was on practical subjects during the day, but in the evening services both practical and doctrinal topics were discussed. About one hundred dollars for the camp-meeting funds next year was pledged at the early morning meeting. A good spirit prevailed all the way through, and several of the brethren were heard to say that it was the best camp-meeting they ever attended. Five went forward in baptism. The dining tent, under the charge of J. L. Maroon, was a success. The children's meetings were held, at 6 P. M., under the direction of Sisters Smith and Purdham. The interest and attendance remaining good, we continued the meetings one week, after which I pitched a tent down town, where I am also having a good attendance. To the Lord be all the praise. The Greensboro people were very kind to us in every possible way. E. L. SANFORD.
