The Maine Camp-meeting.
By W. K. C.
THE following report sent us by one who is not a Seventh-day Adventist, shows how the camp-meeting in Maine was looked upon by some, at least, of those who are not identified with us as a people. As such it will be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW. This meeting commenced Thursday, Aug. 31, under favorable prospects; the situation and weather being pleasant and all that one could wish. I was not present till afternoon. Thursday, P. M., sermon by Mrs. White, subject: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” A good interest was manifested. Thursday evening, Eld. Littlejohn preached from Eccl. 12 : 14 with good acceptance. Friday, A. M., Eld. Andrews gave a very able discourse on the Judgment, which was listened to with much interest. Friday, P. M., Mrs. White delivered one of her best discourses on Health Reform which was an able production, good sense mixed with Christian humility. Friday evening, Eld. Littlejohn preached a good, practical discourse. On the seventh day, Eld. Andrews, Mrs. White, and Eld. Littlejohn, improved the day to the edification of all present who were interested. Sunday, A. M., Mrs. White spoke on the subject of eternal life to a large and attentive audience. In the afternoon, sermon by Eld. Littlejohn, a clear, able, and masterly production which gave tone and advance to the cause in Maine. The remaining public exercises were well received. Monday evening, Eld. Haskell gave a good, sound discourse. The social meetings were conducted with solemnity and deep-toned earnestness characterized by a spirit of humble confession and turning from wrong to right. A spirit of Christian union and sympathy seemed to pervade the entire camp-ground, and at the closing interview all seemed to feel that the meeting had been a success, and the effort not made in vain. May the Lord help those who formed good resolutions at this camp-meeting to carry them into practice. W. K. C.
