Eastern Camp-Meetings.

By S. N. Haskell

We have read with interest the cheering reports from the Western Camp-meetings. The annual Michigan Camp-meeting has also been a success, as will be seen by the report. We look forward with the deepest interest to these annual gatherings in the East. The brethren in New York and the New England States have for a number of years been deprived of the labors of Bro. and sister White at our camp-meetings, with the exception of sister White's tour last summer. The health and courage of these servants of the Lord are good, and God is with them in power.

There are advantages to be obtained at these annual gatherings over all other meetings. Bro. and sister White come to our Eastern Camp-meetings accompanied by Eld. D. M. Canright, who is just from the Pacific Coast. We hope that none of our brethren will be deprived of the privilege of seeing them, and of sharing in the out-pouring of God's Spirit by remaining at their homes. There should be an extra effort made by our brethren and sisters not only to come to these meetings themselves, but to bring with them their children, neighbors, and friends, that they too may come under the especial influence of God's Spirit, and be led to give their hearts to him.

We look for a larger gathering of our friends than at any previous meeting of the kind. We hope that no ordinary difficulty will hinder the coming of any. If you are backslidden, come. If you have lost your hope and courage in God, come. If you are enjoying the presence of God, come. Whatever may be your spiritual condition, come to the camp-meeting; come, praying for God's blessing, and he will meet with you.
