The Mississippi Camp Meeting
By H. W. Pierce
THIS meeting was held in a beautiful grove in the city of West Point. A more pleasant location could not have been selected. The Lord was there by his blessed Spirit, hearts were melted, and burdens were lifted from souls that had been under a cloud. The sunshine of God's love caused rejoicing in the camp. Such expressions as, “I am free in the Lord,” “I am happy,” told more than can be told with the pen. We were favored with the labors of Elder G. I. Butler, whose earnest testimony will long be remembered. Elder J. E. Tenney presented the subject of Christian education in its different phases, with his usual earnestness and zeal. His instruction was well received, and we hope that it will be carried out in this conference as fast as possible. Elder S. B. Horton was with us part of the time, and presented some of the leading points of our faith to the people assembled in the tent. The field agent for “Christ's Object Lessons” awakened in the campers a desire to do their part in selling this valuable book. This conference had already sold a good part of its quota of “Christ's Object Lessons,” and a goodly number were subscribed for on the ground. Two who have just begun the observance of the Sabbath gave their first testimony at this meeting. The business meetings passed off harmoniously, and we see no reason why success cannot attend the efforts put forth to spread the truth in this State the coming year. H. W. PIERCE.
