THE MICHIGAN CAMP-MEETING.
By S. H. Lane
WE have good news from the Michigan campground; and although not undertaking to give a report, we thought a few facts would be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW. The camp is favorably situated in a grove, which gives ample shade, and yet is not so dense as to be unsanitary. There are about two thousand campers on the grounds, in two hundred and seventy-five tents. A good spirit prevails, and the meetings are successful. All seem anxious to seek the blessing of God as never before. The preaching is a combination of the practical and the doctrinal. The outside attendance is not large, but those who come seem interested. Already sixteen persons have been baptized. There was fully twelve hundred dollars subscribed for the relief of the schools. About seven hundred of the forthcoming books, “The Parables of Jesus, or Christ’s Object Lessons,” were subscribed for. The meeting closes Sunday night, September 9. A report in full will of course be made soon, but the blessings already received, and the manifest desire to forward the message, will certainly be instrumental in disseminating the truth in the State as never before. A larger tithe was paid by the churches than for several years before, and the Conference is out of debt, and is determined to push the work. We thank the Lord for his loving kindness, and for the blessing richly bestowed upon all the campers.
