Our Good Camp-Meeting.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

SURELY we have had a good camp-meeting, and the Lord met with us. The language of all was, “It is good to be here.” It encouraged us to see God’s servants feeling so well and so hopeful in the Lord. We were glad to know that things are beginning to brighten up in all parts of the work.

This was just such a meeting as the friends in Iowa needed to strengthen them and settle them in the work of the Lord. Notwithstanding the severe trials the cause has passed through in this State, probably it never stood as well as now. For this we will thank God. New and rich fields are opening before us, and the Lord is raising up some to go into them.

Sabbath after the camp-meeting I spent with the church at Marion and we had a precious season. The Lord’s free Spirit was with us. This little company have good reason to be much encouraged. The Lord will give them the victory yet.

Bro. White inquires if we shall raise the means for another Office building? Yes, we are rejoiced to hear that it is needed. For one I want a share in it. We are sure our old friends will take hold of this; and here is an excellent chance for those who have lately embraced the truth to show how much they appreciate it. Let us not be backward in this good work.

This week we pitch the tent in Adel, Dallas County, which seems to be a good opening. We hope to be remembered in the prayers of God’s people.
