(Condensed from Review and Herald.) NEVADA CITY.—Elder G. I. Butler writes of the meetings in this place as follows: “This might be called a camp-meeting on a small scale, though not originally intended as such by my appointment. The brethren in that section were desirous of having a general meeting, and telegraphed an appointment for a tent-meeting, pitched the forty-foot tent in a grove on the skirts of the town, and invited the brethren to come out. Meetings commenced Wednesday night, and continued till Sunday night. Those living near did not expect day meetings till Sabbath; but Wednesday about thirty brethren and sisters came from a distance, quite a number from Avilla, fifty miles away, and we improved the time by holding continuous meetings, camp-meeting style. Sabbath there were from seventy-five to one hundred Sabbath-keepers present. It was really most encouraging to see the people come together with so little notice, though there were many more who might have come.” “The Lord gave freedom in speaking, especially Sabbath. The hearts of these brethren began to warm up, particularly those who were there from the beginning. The Holy Spirit worked upon hearts, and the ice began to melt. Sabbath afternoon, after the preaching, we had an excellent social meeting. Many spoke, and made solemn vows to live nearer to God, and expressed great gratitude for the encouragement and light they had received at the meeting. After all who seemed inclined to do so, had spoken, an appeal was made to those who had never started, or who had greatly back-slidden, to come forward. Nearly twenty responded, some of whom in broken accents declared their determination to give themselves to the Lord. We were greatly encouraged.”
