“S. D. Adventists.”

WE find the following notice of the Oneida Camp-Meeting in the True Reformer, published by J. E. N. Backers, Scott, N. Y.:

This respectable denomination of Christians, held a Camp-Meeting at Oneida, commencing on fifth-day of last week, and closing last evening. The meeting was well attended. Twenty-eight tents were erected on the ground, and it was estimated that on first-day, not less than 3000 people were present. Quite a number of ministers were present, and the preaching was earnest and practical. We did not reach the ground until second-day afternoon, and only listened to two discourses, one by Sr. White, third-day afternoon, and the other by Eld. Littlejohn, last evening. Both of these were deeply instructive and interesting. The meeting was considerably interrupted by the heavy fall of rain, but everything was conducted with decency and good order. On second-day afternoon twenty-five willing candidates were baptized by Eld. J. N. Andrews.

We believe that this people are doing a great and a good work as able defenders of God’s broken law. We have never felt like opposing them, (although we do not see with them in every point of doctrine) and now, more than ever before, we bid them God speed in their efforts to defend his truth.
