Letter from Sister M. J. Churchill on Camp-Meeting
Sister M. J. Churchill writes from Olmstead Co., Minn.: As I did not have the privilege of attending our camp-meeting, I felt that I was denied a great blessing; but I hope those who are able to attend these yearly gatherings will profit so much by them as to be prepared to help and encourage those who have to remain away. My mind runs back to the camp-meeting, three years ago, when I was buried with Christ in baptism. I have many times regretted that I walk so contrary to the perfect Pattern, but I feel like putting forth renewed efforts to get rid of all my sins. The Lord has been very good to me. In afflictions he has not left nor forsaken me. There are many reasons why I should love and serve him. I realize as never before that time is short, and I mean, by the grace of God assisting me, to be one that can say, “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.”
