NORTH CAROLINA CAMP-MEETING.
By N. W. Allee
THIS meeting was held at Asheville, August 23 to September 2. The attendance of our brethren was good considering that a camp-meeting had been held in the eastern part of the State. Although the grounds were situated on the street-car line and near the depot, they were rather too far from the resident portion of the city for a large attendance of the citizens. The preaching and Bible study were of a nature to encourage close heart-searching and seeking for a clearer understanding of the will of God. The enemy contested the work, so revival efforts were made almost every day, and precious victories were gained. Each branch of the message was considered. As at each of the other camp-meetings of the district, several copies of the new book, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” were subscribed for by the friends. Plans for future work in the two Carolinas were made; and it was decided to hold a general meeting for South Carolina during the fall or early winter. Nearly two hundred dollars was pledged on the tent and camp-meeting fund. We feel confident that the work in these States is being put on a basis that will tend more rapidly to advance the work. The meeting closed with courage and hope on the part of those in attendance.
