One Year's Progress.

By Editor

THE report of the Michigan Camp-meeting shows the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers ever congregated in the present century, and the reports of the annual meetings of the several societies and associations centered in that State show a degree of interest and a record of progress which no other annual reports have ever equaled. To the experienced eye that has watched for years the gradual rise and slow progress of an unpopular cause, the advancement of the last year is unexplainable; and only when we look to the page of prophecy and see that the hand of God is in this work is the mystery solved.

From the very full and lengthy reports in the Review and Herald we shall select a few of the most interesting facts and present them to the readers of the SIGNS.

The increase of the General Conference during the year includes twenty-seven ministers, fifty-nine churches, and two thousand and twelve members. But we are anticipating. The report was received too late for publication in this paper, but we promise it in full next week.
